2025 COMPETITIONS

Now into the second month of the 2025 competitions and it’s all change at the top. Willow is now leading Scout of the Year after winning Scout of the Month for February. Patrol of the Month was Merlins who are also tied for first place in Patrol of the Year with Eagles. For all the current points, please click on the logo.

GOLF DRIVING RANGE - Friday 11th April

An evening at the local Golf Driving Range. Who will be able to just hit the ball and who will be an expert? If you have never played golf before (or only Crazy Golf), this is an opportunity to give it a go and see if it is a hobby you would like to take up.

Due to the number of bays available for non-members, the maximum number of Scouts we can take is 36.

BOOKING OPENING IN MID MARCH

BOWLING - Friday 2nd May

The printed programmes will say Sky Ropes, but unfortunately they no longer open in the evenings. The nearest alternative would be over £30 each, so instead we are going bowling and also taking part in a World Wide Event!

Everyone will get two games and also a Jambowlree Badge. More details about the evening and what Jambowlree is all about will be out towards the end of March

BIG BUNKER BASH  - Saturday 14th\Sunday 15th June

It’s back to the ‘Secret Nuclear Bunker’, but this time not just overnight. We will be doing the high ropes outside before moving in for an evening of activities such as abseiling, rifle shooting, kitchen science, wide games and possible laser games around the whole bunker! There will be the optional activity of the Nuclear Races Wild Forest on Sunday morning (additional cost for this).

GLIDING - Saturday 5th\Sunday 6th July

We have been given the opportunity for a 'Gliding Experience' with Essex & Suffolk Gliding Club. We can only take a maximum of 10 per session. The sessions will start at 5pm, Scouts will need to arrive by 4.30pm.

The experience consists of a single winch launch leading to a soaring flight of approximately 8 to 12 minutes. Time in the air is very dependent on the time of year and the weather conditions at the time of the flight. The flying tuition will be in one of the club's two-seater gliders with a British Gliding Association qualified instructor, who will give you a full briefing before take off. The instructor will endeavour to give you sufficient time in the air to become acquainted with the thrill of flight and to enjoy the panorama below you. During the flight you will be instructed on the effects of the controls, and should you wish, you can take the controls and fly the glider yourself.

BATTLE TAG LASER GAMES - Friday 11th July

We have booked an evening at Battle Tag exclusively for us. Battle Tag is Arena based and uses new special state of the art LaserTag guns that bring the game to the next level.  The guns incorporate the latest laser technology, making the guns much more accurate, and providing a huge range of special FX and weapon options.  This gives them the ability to create game scenarios that replicate your favourite video games (like Battle Royale).

BattleTag Players are divided into teams and start by competing in a practice game to hone their skills and get used to firing the laser gun. Then there's a mix of Tug Of War,  Team Deathmatch (Elimination), Battle Royale and other games for a fun and energetic event. The shrinking map entices players to be more strategic about their actions.

THE OSCARS - Friday 24th January

What a fantastic evening of looking back and celebrating everything the Scouts done and achieved during 2024. Loads of happy smiling faces as the young people received their awards and then partied hard at the after show disco party.

Take a look at all the results, and a number of vides from the night by clicking on the logo.

CZECHIA 2025
