Unit camps are normally informal affairs. After all the hard work in the Scout section, Ventures try to put their training in to practice in a relaxed environment. A Unit camp can be anything from pot holing in the south of France to visiting Amusement parks in the UK.

These are some of our more recent camps, see the bottom of the page for reports on older camps.

County Scout Jamboree 2000 The 2000 Jamboree was to see the investiture of two of our new Members. This was going to be the camp of the Millennium and the opportunities for a unusual investiture would have been abound. However, the rains fell, and mud deepened. Eventually the camp was washed out and we all returned to the Scout HQ to spend a dry night. Unfortunately this left two un-invested members, an impromptu ceremony in the HQ rectified this, with a promise of an opportunity to stage an unusual re-investiture later. See the photos here.		It's Grim Up North '99 Summer 1999 saw the Unit touring the Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Lancashire moors and dales. After spending Sherwood '98 with a group from Yorkshire and seeing as both the Venture Scout Leader and Assistant Leader come from Yorkshire, we thought this would be a good place to hold a camp. The camp was based around equal amounts of pleasure and pain. The pleasure was to be had on hiking around the Derbyshire Peak District and the North Yorkshire Moors. The pain was riding on the longest and highest roller-coasters in England, at Lightwater Valley and Blackpool Pleasure Beach respectively. Some Members may dispute this and say the pleasure was the roller-coasters and the pain was the hikes - but each to their own opinion. See the photos here.
Sherwood '98 Summer camp 1998 was spent at Sherwood '98 and international camp held in Sherwood forest, Nottinghamshire. The camp was attended by Scouts & Guides from most of the Scouting Countries. There were even Scouts from the former USSR, where Scouting had been banned. Six members of the Unit spent the week mingling with the other campers and participating in the many activities that were available. We had members gliding, climbing, water sking, white water rafting, ice skating to name but a few of the activities offered. Many new friends were made on the camp and the Unit spent most of the week with another Venture Unit from Yorkshire, England and a Guide Troop from the United States. The Members swapped Email address and are regularly sending message back and forth. See the photos here.
Diamond White '97 We invaded the Isle of White in the summer of 1997. We spent a sunny week in 6th Newport Scout HQ at the centre of the island. This was a convenient location from which to explore. We visited most of the coastal resorts, spending days at Ryde, Shanklin and Ventnor. We climbed hills, cycled old railways and recharged old batteries. One of the highlights was the pier diving or unintentionally the cliff diving (Martyn). Read the report (PDF format) or view the photos.		More reports to follow - watch this space !!!!
