Scout activities

At Polesworth we are extremely proud of our programme, and the wide diversity of activities and experiences we participate in outside of camps.

We are currently the District Archery and Masterquiz champions, we are also the District shooting champions and have been for several years running.

We couldn't possibly list all of the activities a scout will have the opportunity to try during their time with us so here is just a selection.

  • Hiking, navigation and expeditions
  • .177 calibre air rifle shooting
  • Archery
  • Kayaking, canoeing, raft building, coracles and sailing
  • Climbing, abseiling and caving
    Jacob's ladder
    Aerial runways
  • Camping and camp gadgets
    Knife and Axe work
  • Bivouacking
  • Cookery, camp cookery and survival cookery
  • Environmental projects
  • Go-karting
    Lazer quest
  • Swimming
  • Pioneering, knot work and splicing
  • Winter/snow sports
  • IT skills.

We are continually looking for new activities which we can organise for the scouts, both on camp and on troop nights. If you have any suggestions for activities, please email the troop admin here.
