SCOUTS SECTION

Time to grab your torches and get out your maps to prepare for a night of outdoor exploration in the local countryside.

This is a great chance to hone your inner adventurer:

Trail Navigation & Mapping: Reading topographical maps, using a compass, tracking trail markers, and mastering digital navigation tools.

Leave No Trace Principles: Practising environmental stewardship by minimising human impact on nature, managing waste, and respecting wildlife.

Outdoor Risk Management: Identifying trail hazards, understanding changing weather patterns, and learning basic wilderness first aid.

Athletic Endurance & Pacing: Mastering proper hiking techniques, understanding how to pace energy over long distances, and learning active recovery strategies.

Teamwork & Leadership: Collaborating to keep the group together, motivating peers through tough terrain, and taking turns leading the pack.

The invite has gone out via OSM.

🚚 Day 0: The "Repeat" Starts Now! 🛠️

It’s Friday 14th August, which means Loading Day is here! Huge shout-out to all our fantastic leaders and helpers who are spending today loading trailers, moving gear, and setting up the site. They are doing the hard work so the rest of us can Eat, Sleep, and Scout! ⛺

Scouts & Parents: Get an early night tonight! 1 day to go until the real adventure begins. See you on the water tomorrow!

🚨 SEVEN DAYS TO GO! 🚨
Next week at this exact time, the routine begins: Eat. Sleep. Scout. Repeat.

With just 7 days left, it is officially time to pack. Do not forget to check the kit list!

Make sure you've double-checked off:

🟩 A towel (or three!)

🟩 Suncream and a sun hat ☀️

🟩 Uniform including scarf

Who has already started packing their gear? Or are you leaving it until Thursday night? 👀

01/08/2026

EAT. (Campfire cooking) SLEEP. (In a tent) SCOUT. (Pushing your limits, stepping up to new challenges, and being part of a team where everyone belongs) REPEAT! There are just 2 weeks until the adventure begins!

Leaders: Only 13 days until loading day on Friday 14th August! 🚛

Scouts: 14 days until the best week of the summer starts on Saturday 15th August!

18/07/2026

We are officially 4 weeks away from hitting the water!

Leaders: 27 days until loading day!
Scouts: 28 days until the watery chaos begins!

Camp Pro-Tip: Packing your gear inside dry bags or plastic carrier bags inside your main kit bag is the secret to a happy camp. Because you can't "Sleep" if your sleeping bag gets soaked on the water! 🧦❌

Got weekend errands to run? Make a quick pit stop at Hurstpierpoint Fire Station tomorrow!

The crew is hosting a Charity Car Wash from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, and every single penny raised is going straight to The Firefighters Charity—an incredible organisation that looks after firefighters and their families in times of need.

Whether your motor needs a light dust-off or a proper transformation, drive on in! 💦🚘

Feel free to share this post to help spread the word across the village! Let's get them a huge turnout!
