Survival camp 5/6/2026

 

At last, a camp in the woods.

Between Friday 5th and Saturday 6th June we will be at Bickley Coppice to put your survival skills into practice.  You will build your own shelter and sleep out overnight, cook your meals and get the satisfaction of knowing that most of your mates haven't done this!

You need to book using this Eventbrite link;

PLEASE NOTE - THE EVENT TIMES SHOWN ON EVENTBRITE ARE WRONG

I will email a permission form to parents/guardians which needs to be brought to camp with you, as well as a kit list.

 Please arrive between 1.45 and 2.00.  We will hold everyone on site till 2.00 due to the lack of passing places, then release to return down the track.  If you try to arrive after 2.00 then you will meet everyone coming back! For collection please arrive between 10.45 and 11.00.

The track is driveable but please take it slow, car share if possible and don't attempt it in a Ferrari. SUV's no problem at all going slowly.

Arriving at Bicton village off the old A5 you will see the church in front of you.  Bear to the left of the church and follow the Scouts signs.  It is about a mile.

Please wear old clothes, trousers and boots (for foot protection in the woods), NO UNIFORM.

Bushcraft knives will be provided.  DO NOT bring your own knife.

Please put your name on all kit – Sharpies are good.

Tech stuff isn’t built to survive in the woods! LEAVE IT AT HOME.  We have no insurance to cover it and Leaders won’t be responsible for its safety.

The emergency contact number is my mobile 07733 189916

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO POSTPONE THE CAMP IF THE WEATHER COULD CAUSE US PROBLEMS.

Any questions, please get in touch

Phil
