🔥 120 years of adventure… and a new chapter begins!

This weekend, Tryfan Explorer Scout Unit held its very first camp at Gladstone Scout Centre in Hawarden. The Explorers headed out on expedition, before gathering around the campfire for a special moment: investing 11 new Explorers into the movement. 🌙🔥

And it got us thinking…

Next year marks 120 years since Robert Baden-Powell’s experimental camp on Brownsea Island in 1907 — the small adventure that helped launch the worldwide Scouting movement.

From that first camp on an island to a new generation of Explorers setting off on expedition in North Wales, the heart of Scouting remains the same: adventure, friendship, learning new skills and memories that last a lifetime.

120 years on, the campfires are still burning, the adventures are still beginning, and there are plenty more stories still to be written. 💚⚜️

Here’s to Tryfan Explorers and the next 120 years of adventure!

🔥 120 mlynedd o antur… ac mae pennod newydd yn dechrau!

Y penwythnos hwn, cynhaliodd Tryfan Explorer Scouts ei gwersyll cyntaf erioed yng Nghanolfan Sgowtiaid Gladstone yn Penarlâg. Aeth y Explorers allan ar alldaith, cyn ymgynnull o amgylch y tân gwersyll am foment arbennig: derbyniwyd 11 o aelodau newydd i’r mudiad drwy seremoni addunedu. 🌙🔥

Ac fe wnaeth hynny wneud i ni feddwl…

Y flwyddyn nesaf bydd 120 mlynedd ers gwersyll arbrofol Robert Baden-Powell ar Ynys Brownsea yn 1907 — yr antur fach a helpodd i lansio’r mudiad Scouts byd-eang.

O’r gwersyll cyntaf hwnnw ar ynys i genhedlaeth newydd o Fforwyr yn cychwyn ar alldaith yng Ngogledd Cymru, mae calon Scouts yn parhau’r un fath: antur, cyfeillgarwch, dysgu sgiliau newydd a chreu atgofion sy’n para oes.

120 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, mae’r tanau gwersyll yn dal i losgi, mae’r anturiaethau’n dal i ddechrau, ac mae digon o straeon eraill eto i’w hadrodd. 💚⚜️

Dyma godi llwnc i Tryfan ac i’r 120 mlynedd nesaf o antur!

🚨 PRISON BREAK! 🚨
The usual suspects from 6th Wrexham took over Shrewsbury Prison this weekend.
Beavers, Cubs and Scouts were locked up in a Victorian jail… but clearly nobody told them they were supposed to stay there! 😂
By the end, the guards had given up and the entire lot had escaped! 🤣
👇 Tag someone who definitely couldn’t be trusted behind bars! 👇

🚨 DIANC O’R CARCHAR! 🚨
Cymerodd y criw arferol o 6ed Wrecsam feddiant o Garchar Amwythig y penwythnos hwn.
Cafodd y Beavers, y Cubs a’r Scouts eu cloi mewn carchar Fictoraidd… ond mae’n amlwg na ddywedodd neb wrthyn nhw y dylen nhw aros yno! 😂
Erbyn y diwedd, roedd y gwarchodwyr wedi rhoi’r gorau iddi, ac roedd y grŵp cyfan wedi dianc! 🤣
👇 Tagiwch rywun na fyddech chi byth yn gallu ymddiried ynddo y tu ôl i fariau! 👇

⏪ FLASHBACK: GILWELL REUNION 2026! ❤️🏕️ 🤝

What a Reunion! 🙌

This year saw one of the biggest turnouts of adult volunteers from Clwyd Scouts in many years head to Gilwell Park for a very special occasion — the 100th Gilwell Reunion! 🎉

Originally created as a chance for people who had completed their Wood Badge training at Gilwell to come back together, the Reunion has grown into an event open to all adult volunteers in Scouts.

A weekend packed with friendship, fellowship, new ideas and that unmistakable Scouts spirit! ❤️💛💚

Here’s to the volunteers who make Scouts happen across Clwyd, and to many more Reunions together! 👏

Were you there? Share your favourite memory below! 👇

⏪ ÔL I GILWELL REUNION 2026! ❤️🏕️ 🤝

Am Aduniad! 🙌

Eleni, gwelwyd un o’r nifer fwyaf o wirfoddolwyr sy’n oedolion o Scouts Clwyd ers blynyddoedd lawer yn teithio i Barc Gilwell ar gyfer achlysur arbennig iawn — 100fed Gilwell Reunion! 🎉

Yn wreiddiol, crëwyd yr Aduniad fel cyfle i’r rhai oedd wedi cwblhau eu hyfforddiant Wood Badge yng Ngilwell ddod ynghyd eto. Ers hynny, mae wedi tyfu’n ddigwyddiad sy’n agored i bob gwirfoddolwr sy’n oedolyn yn y Scouts.

Penwythnos llawn cyfeillgarwch, cydymaith, syniadau newydd ac ysbryd Scouts unigryw! ❤️💛💚

Diolch i’r gwirfoddolwyr sy’n gwneud Scouts yn bosibl ledled Clwyd — edrychwn ymlaen at lawer mwy o Aduniadau gyda’n gilydd! 👏

Oeddech chi yno? Rhannwch eich hoff atgof yn y sylwadau! 👇

🌕🌙 Night hike, moonrise and a castle adventure! 🥾🏰
As the sun set and the Harvest Moon rose over Dinas Brân Castle near Llangollen, Atlas Explorer Scouts from Wrexham headed out for a night hike, putting their navigation skills to the test! 🧭✨
But this was more than just an evening adventure. Navigation is an essential Scouting skill, helping our Explorers prepare for their upcoming autumn expeditions for the Chief Scout’s Awards and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
Learning new skills, building confidence and exploring the outdoors — even after dark! 🌌💚

🌕🌙 Hic nos, lleuad yn codi ac antur yng nghastell! 🥾🏰
Wrth i’r haul fachlud ac i Leuad y Cynhaeaf godi dros Gastell Dinas Brân ger Llangollen, aeth Sgowtiaid Fforio Atlas o Wrecsam allan am hic nos, gan roi eu sgiliau llywio ar brawf! 🧭✨
Ond roedd hyn yn fwy na dim ond antur gyda’r nos. Mae llywio yn sgil Sgowtiaeth hanfodol, sy’n helpu ein Fforwyr i baratoi ar gyfer eu teithiau atgoffa yr hydref hwn ar gyfer Gwobrau’r Prif Sgowt a Gwobr Dug Caeredin.
Dysgu sgiliau newydd, meithrin hyder ac archwilio’r awyr agored — hyd yn oed ar ôl iddi dywyllu! 🌌💚

🇮🇪⛴️ Llangollen Scouts take on Ireland! 🏕️🌊

What do you get when you mix ferries, trains, high ropes, castles, cliffs, museums… and a surprise bodhrán lesson? One epic week of adventure! 🤩

1st Llangollen Scouts headed off on an early start for a week exploring Belfast, the North Coast and Dublin.

From exploring the Titanic Museum and SS Nomadic 🚢 and visiting Stormont, to taking on the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and Ballintoy Harbour 🌊 there was plenty to keep everyone busy.

And the adventures didn't stop there! Dublin brought a Zipit high-wire course, the National Museum of Archaeology and an unexpected wildlife encounter back at camp… 🦌

Add in an impromptu bodhrán lesson at Belfast station 🥁 and you’ve got a week that the Scouts won’t forget!

After an incredible week of exploring, they caught the ferry back to Holyhead and made it home to Llangollen just in time for a very late bedtime! 😴

Adventure, friendship and memories to last a lifetime. That's Scouting! 💜💙
