Camping is a very important part of being a cub. It allows children to experience the outdoor life in a safe yet adventurous environment.
Our cub pack offers the opportunity for young people to camp at least twice a year, sometimes more. Our main camp each year is usually near the start of the summer holidays, when we camp for 5 nights under canvas, using either the traditional green patrol tents or our newer 4-man nylon tents. We also try to offer a Group Camp, where Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers join together for a weekend of fun and laughter camping at our own HQ.

Summer Camp - Yapton HQ - Sat 27 July - Thur 1 Aug
We camped at home in what was probably the worst weather last summer, after the amazing heat wave we had rain and a lot of wind, so much that it actually uprooted and overturned one of our tents and pulled all the pegs from one side of the marquee. We still had a great camp and visited the Otter and Owl Sanctuary in Southampton, which was a great day out.

We had one rainy day, but the rest of the time the weather was kind, it was even hot enough for a waterfight.
