We deliver a range of tailored annual and bi-annual events for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers organised at a County level by a team of dedicated volunteers. These events ensure that our leaders feel supported and that the core programme is enhanced by offering access to activities and experiences that might not otherwise be accessible.

What: Winter Mountaineering
When: 8-10 February 2019
Where: The Lake District
Cost: £40 + £15 minibus
This weekend provides an opportunity to try hill walking in winter conditions. It’s open to Explorers, Network and Leaders, and you’re welcome whether you’re a complete winter novice or a more experienced walker. There’s also chance to develop your group leadership skills or even to be assessed for a permit. We can provide ice axes and crampons – you just need decent waterproofs and boots.
How much does it cost?
The course costs £40 with a minibus place if you need it. (If you’ve seen other adverts saying £15, that’s because County have now agreed to pay for the minibus!). The course includes instruction, all specialist equipment, two nights’ bed and breakfast and dinner on Saturday night. Bedding is provided but you will need to bring a towel, and packed lunches for both days.
How can I find out more?
We’ll be running an information evening at Rose Hill Scout Hut in Oxford on Monday 3rd December at 7.30pm. We’ll tell you more about the course and what experience and kit you need to get the most from the weekend. Please let us know if you’re coming using the form at https://tinyurl.com/WinterInfo2019. If you have any questions, please contact us here.

Winter Challenge is an 18-mile hike open to everyone along the Ridgeway in the South of Oxfordshire. You don’t have to walk the full 18 miles, just however far you can. There is a mini finish at 9 miles which most Beaver, Cub and young Scout teams aim for but there have been some beavers who surprised everyone by doing the full 18 miles!
Bookings will be opened in the new year for a short period and they are made by completing a Google form for each team. Details about the information needed will be sent out soon and a link to the form will be sent out when bookings open.

A team is made up of 4-7 people (adults and young people). Each participant will receive a badge, certificate and a time for however far they walk. It is £5 per participant (adult or young person).
