Despite last-minute changes and challenging weather, the 30th Purley Scout Group enjoyed a fantastic evening of adventure and activities this summer at Frylands Scout Campsite, thanks to support from the Dacia Outdoor Fund.

The group had originally planned to stay for a full weekend camp at Pinewood Scout Outdoor Centre but unfortunately, due to an amber weather warning forecast, the weekend camp had to be cancelled at the last minute. However, with flexibility and quick thinking, the team ensured the Scouts still enjoyed a brilliant evening of outdoor activities.

Thanks to the additional funding, which helped cover the cost of the evening, the group were able to take part in a wide range of exciting challenges including archery, air rifle shooting, tomahawk throwing, tunnels, a climbing wall, assault course, and more. The three hours flew by, with Scouts full of energy and enthusiasm throughout.

Many of the young people had the chance to try new activities for the first time, pushing themselves and encouraging one another along the way.

Scout Leader said: “Although the weather changed our plans, the evening was a huge success. The support from the Dacia Outdoor Fund made it possible, and the Scouts absolutely loved it - they’re already asking when we can go back!”

The group is now looking forward to more outdoor adventures in the coming term!
