About this event
Thank you for your interest in the Festive Fundays for 2023 - we can’t wait to see your Squirrel/Beaver/Cub there!
The event follows a similar format to previous years, but with tweaks to make it even better. Attendees will be put in small groups of up to 13 young people (providing you choose the correct group, we will do our best to make sure they are in a group with their friends) and each group will have the opportunity to take part in each of the following activities: festive baking, festive crafts, making a s'more followed by a festive treasure hunt / trail and games, adventurous activities and visiting the grotto where they will take part in a silent disco and meet Santa before all gathering together for a scouting festive campfire sing-a-long.
Each attendee will receive a present from Santa and also a Festive Funday 2023 badge for their camp blanket.
The total cost is £15 per person, including booking fee of £1.96 which is paid direct to eventbrite.
Please note there are up to 125 spaces available per session and the last date for bookings is 30 November 2023 for the Festive Funday team to complete the planning and preparation for the event.

Whilst we will not be providing any substantial snack, young people will take part in festive baking and also make (and eat, if they would like) a S'more. Therefore it is essential we are aware of this information so we can cater for all requirements.
