We’re delighted to launch the North Down Scouts Summer STEM Camp for Explorer Scouts aged 15–17 this summer!

This is an exciting opportunity for young people to get hands-on experience in real-world STEM careers through a series of practical workshops delivered alongside industry partners and specialists.

💻 Coding & AI
🔐 Cyber Security
🧪 CSI Forensics
🎯 Careers & Employability

The workshops are designed to help young people:
-explore future career pathways
-build confidence and practical skills
-meet people working in industry
-experience STEM in a fun and engaging way

Some sessions have limited availability (20–28 places), so early registration is strongly encouraged.

📅 Dates: July & August
📍 Locations: North Down Scouts / SERC Newtownards (selected sessions)
👥 Open to: Young people aged 15–17

Help Required!
We are also looking for 2 adult volunteers for each workshop day to help support the programme. If any leaders or volunteers are available to assist on even just one of the days, we would be incredibly grateful. There’s absolutely no expectation to commit to the full programme — any help at all would make a huge difference!

Scout Strategy - Place to Belong!

The 'Place to Belong' that Scouts gives has never been more important. We’re proud to welcome all young people regardless of gender, race, background or religion. We stand for unity, togetherness and believe our differences make us stronger

Above all, we want to keep young people at the heart of everything we do by listening and responding to their needs
