Our Group Camp this October (20th – 22nd) will be at Phasels Wood Scout Camp, Kings Langley, Herts. (There is no postcode for the main entrance! The site is just 3 miles from Junction 20 Northbound of the M25 towards Hemel Hempstead on the A41. The entrance is in the second lay-by from the M25 roundabout. There is a sign just before the lay-by: ‘Scout Camp access via lay-by’. If you use Google Maps you can put in the Plus Code PGGF+HW Kings Langley)
Phasels Wood is around 30 to 45 minutes drive from Manor Drive, depending on traffic. We will all meet at Phasels Wood at 7pm on the Friday and pick up on the Sunday at 3pm. If there are any transport problems we can try to help.
This is a great chance to practise your camping skills and add to your Nights Away experience! There are on-site activities from Abseiling to Zorbing and on Saturday there will be a Group Campfire in the evening.
Scouts will be sleeping in tents and you will be cooking some of your meals in Patrols, on wood fires. We have booked indoor accommodation for the Cubs to sleep in, which includes a kitchen and hall that we will use for any central meals.
The cost for this camp is £75, with a £25 deposit requested by 8th October. As this invitation does not give parents much notice, we are asking for a second payment of £25 by 22nd October and the balance of £25 by 5th November, after the camp.
A kit list is available on MyScout/OSM.
Please remember that as a Group we have money set aside via our Helping Hands scheme to ensure that no young person misses out on any of the opportunities that Scouting has to offer. If you want to attend camp but the cost is a barrier, you can speak to any Leader or email our Chairman Richard Charles, Chair@thescouthut.org.uk. We know that asking for help isn’t easy so we’re trying to make it as simple as we can; there are no forms to fill in and you won’t be asked to make any repayments.
