Dear Explorer, Scout, Cub or Beaver,

Back by popular demand! Next year sees the return of the High Peak Wallaboree! For those of you that don’t know, a ‘Wallaboree’ is our name for the activity packed District Camp, which is held every two years at Gradbach Scout Camp. The name Wallaboree comes from the words ‘Wallaby’, after the colony of Wallabies which live in the wild near Gradbach and ‘Jamboree’, the Scouting word for a large camp or gathering.

However, all you need to know is that a ‘Wallaboree’ is a camp which is packed with exciting activities and this one is no exception! With the theme of ‘Gradbach on Sea’, some of the activities planned for the camp include climbing, an assault course, mountain biking, grass sledging, circus skills, and a high ropes course. The camp is open to all Explorers, Scouts and Cubs with Beavers being able to visit on the Saturday. This year’s camp will take place between Friday 5th May and Sunday 7th May 2017.

The cost of the camp will be £[INSERT COST] for Explorers, Scouts & Cubs and £[INSERT COST] for Beavers. This covers all food and activities (except/including Beavers packed lunch).
