The month of April saw Northumberland Scouts organise a month-long Virtual Camp (from the 01/04/20 – 30/04/20).
The “virtual camp” ended with an attempt to set the world record for the Largest Virtual Camp on 30/04/2020.
All Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Network, Leaders, Parents, and Young People were invited to take part – which involved:
- 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.
The #CampAtHome Virtual Camp was supported widely across each of our sections with a number of our Young People keen to get involved.
Here are just a selection of photos of our Young People taking part:
