Scouting isn’t just about throwing your tent up in a field and cooking sausages on an open fire, (however we do enjoy doing that.) Scout is all about learning new skills, experiencing new things, discovering your boundaries and pushing them, making memories and most of all having adventure.

One of the biggest adventures for young people is the opportunity to visit another country and experience everything that this brings with it. The languages, the different foods, the friendships, the new experiences, (the biggest ice creams I’ve ever seen….), the ferries and the list goes on.

Back in 2018, 6th Gosport managed to take a large proportion of our young people on one of these amazing adventures, in the form of a activity holiday at Acorn Adventure, Ardres, France. This was an amazing opportunity for all involved (including us Leaders.) Activities available were Climbing, SUP (Stand Up Paddle boarding), Kayaking, Rafting, Fencing, Canoeing, and Archery, plus so many more. It was amazing!!

We hoped to try and organise a return in the Summer 2021… obviously this was not possible. However the team are now in discussions on where we will be taking them in 2024…. watch this space. 

Please take a look at some of our photos from our adventure back in 2018 in the short video below…….. and, if you fancy being part of the team for our next adventure then please get in touch here.
