As well as our regular’ scouting sessions, there are a number of activities we do as a group. Below is an overview, with details being sent out nearer the event.
St George’s Day – April
All sections – Annual District parade and service, in full uniform. Takes place the Sunday after St George’s Day
Duckathon – May
An annual fundraiser where rubber ducks are sold (£2.00 each) and a big duck race takes place on the river. Big crowd pleaser that often is part of a Walton town event (Heritage Day, May Bank Holiday festival, etc). Ducks are sold to the group and the public.
Family Camp – June
A fun weekend at Paxmead in Shepperton where we enjoy all the water activities – kayak, canoe, paddle board, powerboat, etc. Stay for the day and enjoy a hog roast at the end, or camp overnight and do it all again the next day.
Open to all sections and immediate family.
