Activities

Chamboree 2010 will offer hundreds of activities including old favourites and new opportunities to try something different. There are 8 Activity Zones, 6 of which are half-day Zones, 2 of which are full days but split into two distinct half-day areas, meaning that every half-day Scouts will undertake new, different and exciting activities. Everyone who attends Chamboree 2010 will amongst other badges and awards be able to gain their Adventure Challenge. And don't forget our special badge for Chamboree 2010 - the Chamboree Knight (see below for more information).

On the sub-menu you will see these pages contain information on the Daytime and Evening programme. The arrivals weekend (Sat 31 July and Sun 01 August), specific programme information for the Beavers Fun Day, Cubs Adventure Day and for Explorer Scouts who have a tailored programme.

New for 2010!

Chamboree Knight

In your Chamboree camper booklets you will find a number of Challenges to undertake during the week on each Activity Zone, in your Sub-Camp and during the Evening Entertainments. If you complete the required number of Challenges you will gain the Chamboree Knight badge and will officially become a Knight of the Sub-Camp.
