Nights Away Weekender

Calling all nights away assessors, permit holders and anyone wanting to be one. Gather round the campfire and join Scout Adventures for The Nights Away Weekender: a two-night skills fest just for you. 

Taking place from Friday 16th May to Sunday 18th May 2025 at Gilwell Park, this weekend of adventure will be packed full of workshops and practical skills for great residentials. Think programme planning, fires, outdoor cooking, equipment care and camp gadgets. This is a hands-on weekend.

Our tailored sessions mean it doesn’t matter whether you’re an old-hand or just starting out. We’ll pitch our sessions to your level. 

It’ll also be a great opportunity to meet other volunteers, so you’ll be in good company. 

You’ll join us at our nights away marketplace. Not only will we have all the gear on show, you’ll be able to swap ideas and advice too. You’ll leave confident to deliver great overnight experiences for young people.
