Survival Camping 2025
Earlier this summer, our two Scout troops took on the challenge of a Survival Camp. The Scouts put into practice the skills they’ve been learning all year while working towards their Survival Activity Badge.

In preparation, the Scouts harvested willow staves during a coppicing project near Sandridge, which they later used as poles for their shelters. Using knots they’d mastered — the bowline and taut-line hitch — they built survival shelters with nothing more than tarpaulins, just as they would in the wilds, if only the basics were available.

Sleeping in shelters without zips, doors, or the comforts of a tent was both exciting and a little scary — but the Scouts showed real bravery and resilience.

A huge thank you to Wickes St Albans, for generously donating the tarpaulins that made this experience possible. Your support gave our Scouts an unforgettable adventure, building both their survival skills and their confidence.
