2024 COMPETITIONS

Yet another new leader in Scout of the Year. This time it’s Callum who is at the top. This was achieved by him working on badges for his Gold Award so it won’t be any surprise he was Scout of the Month for April.

Patrol of the Month was Hawks again, which stretches their lead in Patrol of the Year. For all the current scores, click on the logo.

CZECHIA 2025

Bookings are now open. For a copy of the info booklet click here and to watch the promo film click here.

POLSKI 2024

After the success of our first ski trip in 2020, we returned to the Polish slopes for another week of skiing and apres ski activities.

There wasn’t as much snow as previous years, but was enough on the nursery slopes that the Scouts used for the 3 days of lessons.

A couple of other activities had to be changes too due to lack of snow, but an awesome time was still had by all.

THE OSCARS - FRIDAY 26th JANUARY 2024

What a fantastic evening of looking back and celebrating everything the Scouts done and achieved during 2023. Loads of happy smiling faces as the young people received their awards and then partied hard at the after show disco party.

SCUBA DIVING - 4th & 25th JUNE 2024

We have now managed to arrange a number of Scuba Diving sessions. Unlike when we have done it previously with Scouts getting 30 minutes snorkelling and 30 minutes Scuba Diving, this time they will get a whole hour of Scuba. Those taking park need to be able to swim 25m unaided. Both sessions are on a Tuesday with Scouts having to be at the pool by 7.30pm.

Each session is limited to a maximum of 15 Scouts with different ages on each one. The sessions will be as follows:-

• TUESDAY 4th June - Scouts ages 12+
• TUESDAY 25th June - Scouts aged 10 to 12

The cost is normally £30 per person for this experience, but with a negotiated price and one of the Jack Petchey Award Winners using their grant money to subsidies the activity, it will only be £10 each. Check the event section in OSM for more details and to book a place.

AIRHOP SLEEPOVER - 19th JULY 2024

Slide & fly from the 2 brand new slick slides- sometimes found in water parks – that will see you sliding down an almost vertical drop and then flying in the air into a soft oversized airbag. The park also features the UK’s first Home Run AR Baseball Cages! Home Run uses the latest cutting-edge ball-tracking technology and AR game software to simulate a real Baseball game. Assemble your friends and get ready for your first Home Run!
