Scouts Summer Camp (Strategy) 2026

Between: 19th June 2026 - 21st June 2026 Location: Cirencester Park Sections: Scouts, Young Leaders & DofE Volunteers, Trinity Explorers

Dear Parents and Carers,

We’re excited to share details of Strategy 2026, a large multi-activity challenge weekend for Scouts, Guides, Explorers and Rangers aged 10–17. This year’s event will take place from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st June 2026 at Cirencester Park.

The Main Event – Have You Got a Winning Strategy?

Strategy is a multi-activity challenge hike featuring 30 different activity bases spread across a 3,000-acre site. Each base offers a unique challenge, earning different points depending on difficulty and complexity.

Teams must work together to plan their route, decide which challenges to tackle, and score as many points as possible within the time limit.

Previous challenges have included:

Pioneering

Supermarket Sweep

Nail painting

Custard jumping

And plenty of surprises!

No two years are the same, and this year promises to be just as creative and demanding. Physical stamina, teamwork, problem-solving, and Scouting skills will all be put to the test. Are you up for the challenge?

Scouts will camp in the beautiful surroundings of Cirencester Park, with a packed programme of evening and weekend entertainment, including:

There’s plenty to keep everyone busy throughout the weekend.
