We will be holding a weekend camp in March. During the weekend we will
mainly be working on the
Map reader's badge but we'll have plenty of time for other camp
activities too. This is a
level 1 camp.
Where: We will be staying in the Brunswick Building at
Walton Firs camp site near
Cobham. You will need to make
your own way to the camp site. The journey via the M25 takes about an
hour. On arrival at the site you will need to park in the car park and carry
your gear down the
track to the
Brunswick Building. You will pass the Pembroke building and our toilet
block on the left before you go through a line of trees (the ravine) and
find the Brunswick Building in front of you. Don't turn right as you get
through the line of trees as this will take you to the Training Hut instead.
When:
You should aim to arrive between 7pm and 8pm. Camp will end at 4pm on Sunday, with
our closing ceremony from about 3.30pm. Parents are encouraged to arrive at
about 3.30pm so that we can finish promptly by 4pm.
What: We'll be working on the
Map reader's badge but there will also be plenty of time for wide games,
orienteering, exploring the site and following the tree trail. We also hope
to visit the
legendary adventure course - but as you can see from the
2nd Bracknell photos from 2007, you will get muddy!
Who: This camp is open to all our cubs, including
first time campers
but not those that are visiting from Beavers or not invested at the time of
the camp.
Total numbers on site (including adults) are limited to 24, which is likely
to mean that we can take up to 18 Cubs. We'll have Akela, Jacala and Keego at camp with Marian
and Angie in the kitchen as
usual.
Cost: The cost is £40 but our
Parbrook Cashback means that you
will only need to pay £27.50.
Wear: You will need to arrive at Camp in your uniform.
Bring: The
kit list has now been published. There are a few
differences from the standard kit list including the need to bring indoor
shoes and maybe even some pocket money.
Paperwork: If you would like to come to camp you will need to
return the reply slip
with your camp fees. For those already on the list, you should now complete
a health form.
Photos: We haven't camped at Walton Firs since 2008 but in 2007,
our friends at 2nd Bracknell held a similar weekend to ours using the
Brunswick Building. You can see
photos from their weekend online.
