Scoutabout fun and games
Scoutabout fun and games Horsell Scouts joined more than 4,500 Scouts and Guides from across Surrey to enjoy an action-packed weekend of over 200 activities at the three-day Scoutabout event. Held the South of England Showground in Ardingly, West Sussex, the only site big enough and close enough to house the Scouts and Guides of Surrey for the weekend.
From JCB digger and car driving to bungee running and scuba diving, the young people were able to try something new, in a safe environment and make new friends at the same time.
Across the site the scouts and adults have munched their through 1,800 curly wurlys, 1,400 ice creams, 16,200 fried eggs, 4,500 cans of fizzy drink and used 1,800 toilet rolls.
On the activities front, the most popular attractions included the caving black hole where about 2,400 Scouts and Guides took part and the tobogganing activity which attracted 3,000 young people.
