Camping

Each year Brookwood Scouts offer a series of camps, as does Woking District. These camps range from Patrol camping to Troop camps and also some opportunities to go leightweight camping.

Brookwood Scouts tend try to offer camping om a regular basis. The camps will tend to be either a training camp or an activity one. In the past we have build pioneering structures, been hiking and even constructed a clay oven to make our evening meal of home made pizza.

Each year district orginise a series of Competitons that double up as camps:

The first one of the year is the Leightweight Competition that integrates both two days of walking with an overnight stay. The scouts are assessed on there walking, camping and cooking of Dehydrated food. In the past Brookwood Scouts have won this event. This event usually takes place in mid March

The second weekend that the District orinise follows straight on from the Lightweight and takes place during the first Bank holiday in May, when we head off to Brecon for a weekend of lightweight camping and walking in the Brecon Beacons.

The final event of the camping season orginised by District takes place usually in mid-June and incorporates two seperate competitions a standng camp and also the cooking competition. Scouts are assessed on their camping standards and take part in a series of games and activities over the weekend. On the Saturday night they take part in an open fire cooking competition when the Scouts cook and present a meal that they have devised themselves and then cooked over a wooden stove fire.

Being well placed in any of the camps allows them to go on and take place in the County Events.
