Here you can find out about all the camps, sleepovers and nights away at both normal and unusual places that are coming up. There is normally at least one Night Away experience each month. For overseas Nights Away, see the International Trips section.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM - 26th APRIL 2024

Have you every slept in a museum? If not, now's your chance to. We have exclusively hired Braintree Museum for the Scouts for a night with a difference. After leaving bags in the former infant school hall (which will be where the Scouts Sleep), it will then be a few hours of fun in the main museum.


Scouts have choosen the theme of 'Brick by Brick', which is an Interactive session including Lego building and team challenges. After the activities there will be one or two films - can you guess which ones?


In the morning after a breakfast of pastries and juice there will be time to visit the Museum shop for those that want to. Places are initially limited to 30. Look out for the event invite from OSM.

PEAK DISTRICT - 24th -27th MAY 2024

This is an active long weekend, but lots of fun and always voted as one of the best camps of the year. Activities are likely to include, a bit of hiking, cycling, Sailing, visiting some local tourist attractions, the Wirksworth carnival and swimming.


Check the event section in OSM for more details.
