Hello!

Here are the events coming up over the rest of this year, along with what’s planned so far for next year at District Level. Don’t forget that Camp Clwyd (Area Camp) is back next year, bigger and better (and closer to home!).

Bookings are open for lots of these now, so please share with your young people and encourage them to sign up. They can sign up themselves using the link on the events page, or you as leaders can sign as many as you want up.

Between now and the end of 2026

Plenty more activities and trips for next year will be added to the booking system by the end of October. If you have any suggestions for what we should run, we’d like to hear them.

These events only work with good support and attendance, so please get involved where you can and help spread the word. Our whole new programme team are working extremely hard to organise and plan events in the background.

Please email programme@valeofclwydscouts.org.uk with any suggestions, questions or offers of support.

Thanks for everything you do.
