Spring Camporee 2013 – Brownsea Treasure Island

Location: Brownsea Island, the site of the Lord Baden Powell’s first scout camp
Dates: 26-28 April 2013

FINAL REGISTRATION DEADLINE 30 March 2013 - CURRENTLY TAKING "STANDBY PLACES" ONLY
Lord Baden Powell left a treasure on the island somewhere. Patrols are challenged to complete our massive scavenger hunt whilst exploring the island that used for his first scouting campout. By the end of the camporee, we hope everyone has found the treasure of Brownsea Island.
Brownsea Island is an actual island with access only available by a ferry. The LAST ferry to the island on Friday 26 April 2013 will leave at 16h30 from Sandbanks Quay. We will open check-in from 14h00 from Sandbanks Quay. Units should plan on arriving no later than 15h30 to ensure they can make the boat.
Due to the requirements of National Trust, who operate the campsite, we are only allowed 200 people camping on the island. When we attended Brownsea Island in 2007, we filled the island’s capacity! We will allocate places on first-come, first served basis and will operate a waiting list of names if necessary.

(for Cub Scouts & Families)
Location: Skreens Park Scout Campsite
Dates: 10-12 May 2013
Registration due by 20 April 2013
Set sail for adventure this May! It is all hands on deck as our Cub Scouts take to the high seas. There are games and crafts for all ages (and all energy levels) which will keep our sailors occupied. We will also be having our annual rain-gutter regatta for which Cub Scouts will make their ships during the activities and then the whole camp will come to watch the grand finals! Then off to our smaller body of water (the lake) for a campfire full of songs and skits. Don’t miss out!
