A few photos from the recent Scout & Explorer bivvy camp 🏕️ Camping in shelters they created themselves with ropes and tarps, away from campsite luxuries of running water or bathrooms, the Scouts put their backwoods cooking and pioneering skills to the test. Great work everyone!

It's all on our website: https://newforestscouts.org.uk/2026/tails-of-the-new-forest-5th-april-2026/

Plus, everyone should have also received an update on St. George's Day coming up really soon.

Why is Scouting Fun? 🤩

Recently we challenged our Scouts to come up with something that could be shared online to tell people why they enjoy Scouting.

We had posters, talks, practical demonstrations and some great pioneering!

Some great badge work everyone!
