As promised in the special edition of The Bungle, bookings are now open for our Family Camp 2022. It’s your chance to come along and join in the sort of fun camping activities we’d normally save to do with our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers on camp.
Camp will be at Dilston Scout campsite near Hexham and will open at 8pm on Friday 8th July and will close just after lunch on Sunday 10th July. This is an absolutely brilliant location for a summer family camp. We have sole use of a huge flat field with a river running through it. There are hot showers and plumbed toilets on site too!
All Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, siblings, parents, guardians, grandparents and friends are welcome to come along.
The price will be £35 each for anyone 6+ and £10 for siblings under 6 years old, and will include all your meals from Saturday breakfast through to Sunday lunchtime.
We will accept uanccompanied Scouts on camp with us. We’ll place them in a patrol with a family for the weekend and they can camp in our group patrol tents with any other scouts who might not want to camp with their families; mums and dads can be so embarrassing. We’ll also accept unaccompanied Explorer Scouts for the weekend. They have the option to join as participants or as members of our service crew, where they will help us run activities and generally keep the place running smoothly.
As mentioned in The Bungle, we are not able to accept camper vans or caravans. We have a limited number of patrol tents we may be able to lend you on a first come first served basis. Just ask. The site does not allow dogs.
All adults staying overnight will need to have a scout DBS completed (if they do not already have one) before camp. We will set up sessions for ID checking and DBS completion during Cubs/Beavers after the Easter break.
Rather than rely on a lot of bank transfers, we are going to take card payments in person for this event. When you come in to complete your DBS you will be able to pay for the weekend by card.
Joining information and kit lists will be sent out nearer the time.
If you have any questions about booking, paying, DBS, the format of the weekend, or anything else, drop us an email.
