District Activity Day & Renewal of Promise
25 April @ 09:15 – 18:00
Activities Day with a huge variety of games and activities, joining Scouts from across Southend West Scout District at Garon Park in Southend. During the day we’ll be renewing our Scouting promises to do our best for the year ahead.
When: Saturday 25 April. 0915 – 1800. These are a bit different to what was originally advertised due to staggered arrival/departure times, don’t worry if you can’t be exact, just please don’t be earlier than 0915, or later than 1800.
There will be a lot of other scouts from all over Southend arriving on Saturday morning (including over 80 from 3rdCB alone) so timings have been staggered to ease the traffic. If you can share lifts please do. The drop off and pick up area is the overflow car park, on your right as you enter Garon Park – it will be well signposted.

We will have an area within the site where bags, packed lunched etc can be left and to act as a base for 3rdCB.
