Dear Parent/Carers,

This year our Group Camp will be at Ferny Crofts Scout Activity Centre in the New Forest from Friday 28^th till Sunday 30^th September 2018. This activity centre is one of the best in the South and it is in a beautiful part of the country with fantastic outdoor space.

How about your child having a go at the Gladiator Challenge, various Climbing activities, Zip Wires, Boulders, Tomahawk Throwing, Shelter Building, Team Building activities, Go-Karting, Paddle Games and Raft Building. They also have facilities for Aeroball, Crazy Golf, Volleyball, Frisbee Golf and a fantastic Adventure Course. The site has well over 30 different activities to choose from.

The cost of the whole weekend, which will include a coach to and from the venue, food and all activities for your child will be between £60-£80.

Group Camp is a fantastic opportunity for your child to try new things, surrounded by their friends in a safe outdoor environment. Beavers will be sleeping inside, as will the younger Cubs. Some of the older Cubs will be camping alongside the Scouts. We will have an indoor base with the camping facilities right outside. We have a kitchen to do the cooking in and serve up all the meals (and Cake). We will of course have Arnie’s infamous camp fires, with marshmallows and a sing song, on the Friday and Saturday night. We would aim to leave the church at approx 5pm on the Friday and return by 6pm on the Sunday.

A form will be sent out soon, so please fill in the form and return to one of your child’s Leaders(s). The £20 deposit can be paid via OSM (unfortunately this deposit is non-refundable). Anyone with more than one child will have any other child’s cost reduced by £10.

If you would like your child to go and embrace this fantastic weekend, but you may not be able to raise all the funds required, please talk to John, Lesley, Tim or Mandy and I am sure the Group will be able to help.

Yours in Scouting.
78^th Kingswood Scouts.
