Recap: The Big Weekend 2022 (Waddecar) – Our Biggest District Event
Over 900 Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorer Scouts aged between 4 and 18 will descend on Waddecar Scout Activity Cente near Preston for The Big Weekend during the 5th to the 6th March, the event is the biggest of its kind in the West Lancashire following the Pandemic.
We’ve all felt a little trapped on the sofa this past 18 months, bored of the telly, and we all feel a little sluggish after all those zoom meetings, and the over-indulgence and board games.
It was the challenge our young people need to switch back on for the year a head with participants enjoyed awesome activities throughout the weekend: from archery to abseiling, Inflatables to high-ropes, and so much more… Including plenty of entertainment, crafts, socials, and friendship. The most important part of all… Seeing young people and our volunteers back together having fun and seeing those huge smiles and laughter as they tried new things throughout the weekend!
If you missed the news the other week. The limited-edition badges have landed, and boy do they look good! A huge congratulations to the young people who helped design our event badge. Make sure you get a hold of yours by getting in touch with Ros here
The event couldn’t have been made possible without all our fantastic volunteers who co-ordinate everything from event planning and management to entertainment, activities. A HUGE thank you to everyone!
