#CampAtHome

Calling all young people from across Marden Scout Group – COVID-19 may have changed the way we do things, but it won’t stop Scouts camping!

#CampAtHome was started by Leicestershire & Northumberland Scouts as a virtual camp throughout April with the hope to set a world record for the largest virtual camp on the 30^th April with 1 Million participants!

We thought it would be fantastic for all Beavers, Cubs and Scouts in Marden to be part of setting a world record.

Here are the “Rules” – we are asking all Young People interested in joining in the fun to:

• Pack a bag
• Build a den at home / pitch a tent in the garden / hang up a hammock (whatever you can)
• Sleep in your shelter of choice
• Build a ‘campfire’ (real or virtual)
• Take part in a “Scouty activity”
• Help with cooking a meal

Then share photos of your camp with your leaders, and on our Facebook page (“Marden Scout Group”) and Social Media (#CampAtHome), to show that although we can’t meet “Face to Face” Scouting doesn’t stop!

We need to register everyone that wants to participate in the record attempt (on 30^th April), so please email under the title #CampAtHome your full name to GSL@mardenscouts.org.uk by no later than Saturday 19^th April.

Participating will also mean all young people will gain 1 “Night Away”. This is a staged activity badge, meaning you can earn more “nights away” the more you camp. So why not set up you camp straight away and earn a “night away” for each night you participate (as long as they aren’t sleeping in your bed!!). Keep a record at home (and some photos!) and share this with your section Leaders.
