Well what a week we had at Poacher International Jamboree last week! We truly had the adventure of a lifetime. We kicked off the week with the opening ceremony and a few on-stage performances! It was a crazy night, but a great way to kick off the week 👊

The Labyrinth Challenge was both exhausting and insane! It’s been an incredible week at Poacher International Jamboree so far and we still have so much more to do in the last few days!

A lovely evening at York Scout Activity Centre for our Beavers this evening! They learnt about how to build fires and cooked (and ate!) hot dogs, marshmallows and smores! What a fab Monday night treat for our Beavers!

As we look ahead to a New Year, many of our young people are very excited about attending in August.

Back in November, the group pulled together to host a Christmas fair, quiz and auction evening in aid of this brilliant cause - raising a whopping £800 towards our fundraising target.

A huge thank you must go to every leader, parent, helper or young member that supported the running of the event, as well as - of course - everyone that attended and so generously donated their time and money.

We were especially blown away to have Councillors Stephen Fenton & Andrew Waller in attendance, who are both brilliant supporters of our group, along with Lord Mayor Councillor Martin Rowley & Deputy Lord Mayor Margaret Wells. We thank all of them for giving up their time to support our young people on their Poacher journey!

If you wish to donate any further to support our cause, visit the link in our Insta bio, where you will find a link to our JustGiving page. All donations gratefully received and they all make a huge difference!

To celebrate the end of the Autumn Term, our Young Leaders headed to in an attempt to complete two Escape Rooms.

Both teams escaped, with Team 1 having 10 minutes an 15 seconds remaining, while Team 2 escaped with a remaining 10 minutes and 2 seconds.

Plenty of needed in teamwork, leadership and communication!
