🏕️ Gilwell Reunion 2026 / Aduniad Gilwell 2026

This year’s Gilwell Reunion is extra special. It’s the 100th anniversary of the event, and we want Vale of Clwyd to show up in style!

Last year only 6 of us made it. Let’s do better. Spaces are still available for the full weekend (4-6 September) at Gilwell Park, and we’d love to see a strong district presence there.

Gilwell Reunion is a brilliant weekend for adult volunteers. Workshops, activities, new skills, old friends and new ones. It’s one of the best weekends in the Scouting calendar.

If you’re going (or thinking about it!), join our District WhatsApp community to connect with others from the district heading down.

Mae Aduniad Gilwell eleni yn un arbennig iawn. Dyma’r 100fed pen-blwydd, ac rydyn ni am weld Dyffryn Clwyd yn mynd yno yn ei nerth!

Dim ond 6 ohonom ni aeth y llynedd. Gallwn wneud yn well. Mae lleoedd dal ar gael ar gyfer y penwythnos cyfan (4-6 Medi) yng Nghaer Gilwell, a bydden ni wrth ein bodd yn gweld presenoldeb cryf o’r Dosbarth.

Mae Aduniad Gilwell yn benwythnos gwych i wirfoddolwyr oedolion. Gweithdai, gweithgareddau, sgiliau newydd, hen ffrindiau a rhai newydd. Dyma un o benwythnosau gorau’r calendr Sgowtiaeth.

Os ydych chi’n mynd (neu’n ystyried!), ymunwch â’n cymuned WhatsApp y Dosbarth i gysylltu ag eraill o’r Dosbarth sy’n mynd i lawr.

District Beaver and Cub Camp: Complete! ✅🏕️🪵

Over 75 Beavers and Cubs from across Vale of Clwyd had an incredible weekend at Gladstone Campsite. They threw themselves into archery, tomahawks, fire lighting, axe and knife work, backwards cooking, bouldering, laser tag, bird feeder making, wide games, campfire — and everyone’s firm favourite, arm fudge!

Jacob Jones, District Lead Volunteer, said: “It was an incredible weekend. All of the young people threw themselves into everything. They made new friends, new memories, and learnt so many new skills.

A massive thank you to all of our incredible volunteers for everything across the weekend. A special thanks to our Explorer Service Team for all their support, and to Neil Curtis, our Area Safety Lead turned Michelin star chef, who kept everyone fed and smiling throughout. We were delighted to welcome Neil as a member of the District and present him with his very own Vale of Clwyd necker.

I also had the privilege of presenting Russell Williams (1st Carmel) with his 25 Years Service Award and Deb Blackburne (2nd Rhyl) with her 30 Years Service Award — a combined 55 years of dedication to young people. Remarkable.”

Our first District Camp since before Covid, and what a way to come back. Four groups, over 75 young people, and memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s to the next one! 🔥

Gwersyll Beavers a Cubs y Dosbarth: Cwblhawyd! ✅🏕️🪵

Cafodd dros 75 o Beavers a Cubs o ar draws Dyffryn Clwyd benwythnos anhygoel yng Ngwersyll Gladstone. Rhuthrasant i mewn i saethyddiaeth, tomahawks, cynnau tân, gwaith bwyell a chyllell, coginio am yn ôl, bouldering, laser tag, gwneud porthwyr adar, gemau eang, coelcerth — a ffefryn pawb, fudge braich!

Dywedodd Jacob Jones, Gwirfoddolwr Arweiniol y Dosbarth: “Roedd hi’n benwythnos anhygoel. Taflodd yr holl bobl ifanc eu hunain i mewn i bopeth. Gwnaethant ffrindiau newydd, atgofion newydd, a dysgu cymaint o sgiliau newydd.

Diolch enfawr i’n holl wirfoddolwyr anhygoel am bopeth dros y penwythnos. Diolch arbennig i’n Tîm Gwasanaeth Explorers am eu holl gefnogaeth, ac i Neil Curtis, ein Harweinydd Diogelwch yr Ardal a drawsnewidiodd yn gogydd pum seren, a gadwodd bawb wedi’u bwydo a hapus trwy gydol yr amser. Roeddem wrth ein bodd yn croesawu Neil fel aelod o’r Dosbarth a chyflwyno ei neckerchief Dyffryn Clwyd ei hun iddo.

Cefais hefyd y fraint o gyflwyno Russell Williams (1af Carmel) â’i Wobr Gwasanaeth 25 Mlynedd a Deb Blackburne (2il Rhyl) â’i Gwobr Gwasanaeth 30 Mlynedd — 55 mlynedd o ymroddiad i bobl ifanc rhyngddynt. Rhyfeddol.”

Ein gwersyll cyntaf yn y Dosbarth ers cyn Covid, a dyna ffordd o ddychwelyd. Pedwar grŵp, dros 75 o bobl ifanc, ac atgofion a fydd yn para am oes. Dyma ni at y nesaf! 🔥
