Squirrels Activity Days (SquAD) – 2025
Exciting news!
Due the success of the first ever County SquAD in 2024, Copley has already been booked for SquAD 2025. We just haven’t got an image of the 2025 badge yet!
When? Sat 12th and Sun 13th July 2025.
Who can attend?
The event is open to all Squirrels and is designed to as a day filled of fun activities which can meet the requirements of some of the harder elements of some challenge badges.
What’s happening?
Bring your Drey along for exciting activities. Although the line up may change based on feedback received, the 2024 activities included:
- Pioneered bridge, swing, catapult, and teddy “zip line”
- Inflatable assault course
- Campfire cooking
- Soft Archery
- Soft Tomahawks
- Caving
- Cork Crossbows
- Baden Bear’s adventure
- Obstacle course
- Den Building
It will be a fun day out and will tick off lots of badge requirements.
Spaces are expected to be limited to 180 Squirrels per day to ensure the activities work for the numbers on site. Unfortunately, this means that we are unable to accommodate any young people except for the Squirrels and Young Leaders in your Drey.
All Leaders attending MUST at the date of the event be up to date with their Safety & Safeguarding training and have a valid scouting disclosure.
Cost: to be confirmed. As a guide (only) the 2024 cost was £15 per Squirrel.
Bring: your own packed lunch.
