SKYDIVING - Saturday 11th October

We have booked a session for the Scouts to take part in 'indoor' sky diving at Hangloose in Kent (with an optional extra of Gravity Trampoline Park).

Hangloose Bluewater has taken ‘indoor’ skydiving experiences to the next level with an outdoor wind tunnel – the UK’s first ever outdoor/indoor skydiving experience.

They have made mainstream indoor skydiving bigger and better by putting you in the great outdoors. You feel like you’re flying without the height and cost of jumping out of a plane. Your expert flight instructor will gear you up in your flight suit, you’ll have a pre-flight safety briefing and, before you know it you will be airborne! Each Scout will get an incredible 2 minute experience - the equivalent to 3 plane skydives.

Bookings Closed - Full

TECH DAY 2025 - Saturday 18th October

In the past, this activity has mainly been focused on JOTI (Jamboree on the Internet), but we are changing things up for 2025. Rather than the day mainly being focused on JOTI, it will be TECH based with JOTI just featuring throughout the event.

The day will give the Scouts the opportunity to use technology in a creative way to make things they can take home, learn new skills and compete in various competitions.

For those that don’t know, JOTI is the largest Scouting event in the world with over 1.8 million Scouts participating across 150+ countries.  Scouts and Guides across the world connect with each other during the event using the Internet.

Bookings Closed - Full

REMEMBRANCE PARADE 2025 - Sunday 9th November

On Sunday 9th November we will be taking a leading part in the Remembrance Day Parade and Service in Silver End.  We will meet at THE SCOUT HQ at 10am in order to parade to the village hall and join in the service.  We will be parading back to THE SCOUT HQ after the service.  We are normally finished by around midday.

Please make sure you wear full smart uniform.  This means navy blue or dark trousers or skirts (no jeans) and dark shoes or trainers.  Please can you also make sure all your badges are on and in the correct positions (you can check in OSM).  Any 2024 or earlier event badges should be removed.  You will need to wear a woggle on your scarf for the parade which will be handed out on the day and collected in afterwards.  Please make sure you wash, iron and re-roll your scarf for the parade so you look really smart.  You will also need a poppy and some change for the collection during the service if possible.

As this is such an important day, we expect everyone to be there

TOBOGGANING & RINGOS - FRIDAY 12th DECEMBER

For our ‘Christmas Outing’ this year, we are going to the Suffolk Leisure Park, just outside Ipswich, for fun on the ‘Ringos & Toboggans’.  The Ringos are large rubber rings that go down the big artificial ski slope  and the toboggans are the little trays on the smaller slope. Scouts will get approximately 45 minutes on each activity. They will be split into two groups and swap over.

Bookings will open in mid\late October
