GO-BANANAS SLEEPOVER - 6th MARCH 2026 As it mentions on our programme, we are planning a sleepover at Go-Bananas in Colchester. So if you want an evening of fun and to sleep somewhere different read on... The activities will be ‘tasters’ of their main themed parties. Firstly you will have free time to play on the centre’s Aztec Adventure frame and the giant bouncy castle, then it is time to get organised and choose your sleeping spot for the night. After food you will be split into groups to rotate around laser storm guns, climbing wall, sumo wrestling suits and enjoy some chocolate themed games. Places are strictly limited to 50. Look out for the OSM event invite to book a place. Recent activities have been fully booked within hours of opening so don’t delay or you could miss out! For the Scouts that attended the 2026 Remembrance Parade, bookings will open a week earlier than everyone else. |
