SKY ROPES - 20th May

Are you up for the challenge of Sky Ropes? Explore the fun and family friendly high ropes course, navigating your way around bridges and beams high in the sky. There are two different levels so you can choose how high you dare to go, the tallest measuring over 9 metres! The specially trained staff will kit you out with a full body harness and brief you on safety on the ropes.

When you’re on the ropes you’re free to explore how you choose, selecting your own route and moving at your own pace. Instructors will always be on hand for any help or questions.

We have exclusively booked the entire course just for us. For details and to book, login to OSM.

RAFTING - 3rd June

How are your knotting skills? We are off to Thriftwood Scout Camp to build rafts and then try and paddle across the lake. We have provisionally booked enough sets of kit so a maximum of 40 Scouts will be able to take part. Parents can also stay and help us build the rafts so the Scouts get more time on the water.

It is always a really fun night - whatever the weather (as you will get wet anyway). To book a place, Scouts should visit the event section in OSM.

AQUA PARK - 24th June

The Aqua Park is made up of over 30 elements all joined together, with slides, jumps and drops perfect from all ages. Come and challenge Jungle Joe with many ways up and down! With many Ninja Warrior style features including Balance beams, On the Wave and Monkey bars race your friends, challenge yourself and if you do get them wrong don’t worry you can enjoy a splash in the lake!

With easy access back onto the Aqua Park via the swim steps at every turn falling off is part of the game! The Park has been designed with fun in mind! There are Fully Qualified Open Water Life guards on call to make sure everybody is safe while having fun!

Parents can relax, have a coffee and cake and watch on the decking in front of the Aqua Park. BUT if any parents would like to take part, please get in touch and if spaces you can join in the fun. As usual - book via OSM

NETHERLANDS 2023

It’s happening! We are finally going overseas again in 2023 (pending any new restrictions). This time it is off to the Netherlands. The presentation night has now been hold and places are filling up fast. If you want a place please speak to a leader as soon as you can to see if there is a possibility of you go. If you were not able to make the launch night or need a refresher of the information, please click on the logo which will take you to a website with all the information, leaflet and video clips.

OSCARS 2021

It was back to normal for the Oscars this year with a glitzy and glamorous ceremony inside followed by an after show party. The Scouts put in a lot of effort in dressing up for the occasion and were up for dancing the night away after all the awards and recognition had been handed out. It was probably one of the best award ceremonies ever! Just 12 months until the next one.

To see all the results, flick through the yearly photobook, see the review of 2021 video and a montage from the night just click on the logo.

SURF CAMP - JUNE 10th - 12th

Postponed from 2020 and hopefully nothing will prevent it happening this year. A weekend down in Bournemouth. Travelling Friday evening so we have two full days of activities. Saturday there will be a few onsite activities, followed by an afternoon on the beach playing games and learning to surf (or SUP if the waves are not good enough to surf). Sunday is a day trip out to the home of Scouting - Brownsea Island. Information is now out. You can register via OSM.
