Bushcraft: Tarpology and Kelly's

Outdoor Conference 2026 – Bushcraft Sessions

For the 2026 Outdoor Conference, we’re taking a fresh approach to our Bushcraft sessions.

This year, our sessions will be built around specific, hands-on activities designed to:

• Improve skills
• Spark ideas
• Inspire more adventurous activities with your young people

⛺ Tarpology & Kelly’s

Everything you didn’t know you needed to know about setting up tarps! From quick, simple shelters for woodland hikes to more advanced overnight setups.
We’ll also explore the use of Kelly Kettles and how to creatively incorporate them into your sessions.

🪓 Breakout Sessions

We’re setting aside time for optional, smaller group sessions including (but not limited to):

• Tool sharpening
• Rope making
• Carving
• Pyrolysis

Have a specific skill or topic you’d like to cover? Let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to fit it in.

We’ll also be having a Nature & Wellbeing Walk on the Sunday morning to revive our spirits & look at Sourcing Materials.

Let us help you build confidence, learn new skills, and bring more adventure to your Scouting programme.
We can’t wait to see you there!
