Annual Camp 2020 | Update

Dear Parents,

Annual Camp will no longer be in Portugal as initially planned, as we did not meet the minimum group size to make the camp viable.

We are now developing a plan for an Annual Camp based in Ireland. We expect to have the details of the revised plan finalized and communicated to you by the end of February. In the meantime, please see some preliminary details below.

  • The location will be on the Island of Ireland.
  • The cost will not exceed €350 per person.
  • The length of the camp will be approximately 7 days.
  • The camp will take place between 23rd July – 4th August, final dates will be in our next communication.

Scouts that were not originally signed up for Portugal are very welcome to sign up for the Annual Camp in Ireland.

Deposits/payments that had already been made for the Portugal trip will be offset against the cost of the trip within Ireland. If your Scout(s) will not attend the camp in Ireland we will happily refund the balance you have already paid, please contact us directly to discuss.

Thank you for your patience as we finalize the plans for this year’s camp. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Yours in Scouting, 

Scout & Venture Section Team.
