Scout Camps

Our Scouts go camping on a regular basis but we dont always have a program for it! They often have backwoods or survival type camps, for which we rarely have a fixed program.

They also take part in District events such as the annual Camping Competition, for which the program remains largely unchanged from year to year due to the rules. District events such as Survival Camp or Scout Rally have their own set programme which is managed by the organising team. Details of these can be found on the Barking & Dagenham Scouts website.

We have also had several working weekends at local campsites, where we do jobs around the site while camping there in a traditional backwoods way. These are quite informal and do not have a rigid programme as the repairs and construction required on site could change as we find more problems or realise some jobs are easier or harder than first expected.

If you want more details on our other camps please feel free to email me.
