BSO will be holding an Area Virtual (or Real if you live in a country where the lockdown has been eased) Camp on 12th/13th(Middle East District) and 13th/14th (for other Districts) June 2020 to celebrate The Queen’s Birthday and Trooping the Colour’.
Trooping the Colour is an old ceremony but since 1748, it was decided that this parade would be used to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign and it became an annual event after George III became King in 1760. It is part of the cultural heritage and pageantry of the UK. This camp will explore the themes of our cultural heritage and those of the country in which you live.
Calling all Explorers, Scouts, Cubs and Beavers in our Groups across the World to join our Virtual/Real Camp. All you have do to is:
- Pack a Bag
- Set up your camp either in the garden, in a den inside your home or, if you are lucky enough to have had the lockdown eased in the country you live, then camping by sections or as a group.
- Sleep in your camp or den overnight – claim a Night Away!
- Assist with cooking a meal
- Prepare a campfire – real or virtual
- Take part in fun activities including:
- Building a British landmark from recycling materials
- Creating a work of art exploring either British heritage or that of the country in which you are living
- Holding your own very British Tea Party for your family
- Connecting with other BSO Scouts across the World
There will also be Leader’s Social for leaders across the Districts to connect.
As with the St George’s Day Camp prizes will be awarded.

British Scouting Overseas (BSO) are looking to recruit for our Social Media Team. We're looking for creative individuals who have a good grasp of using social media responsibly and to promote an organisation. Experience is desirable, but not essential as we are open to building a team who can support each other in growing together, as well as growing and enhancing our social media presence. If this sounds like a role or team that might be of interest to you, please feel free to reach out for an informal chat. About BSO BSO is a part of the UK Scout Association with headquarters in Gilwell Park, London. BSO members have access to the same resources, support and programme as UK based Scout groups. BSO exists to support British families living overseas in the provision of a UK Scouting programme to expatriate British children and to several British Overseas Territories. We aim to ensure that all our members have the opportunity to feel and experience high quality UK Scouting whilst providing support and advice to adult members no matter where they are in the world. BSO undertakes Scouting activities in a safe and secure environment with flexibility to adapt to both local customs and guidelines set out within The Scout Association's policies and rules.

Whilst most adult volunteer members are delivering programme activities with our young people, many volunteers are also based in the UK offering support, training, mentoring, governance and resources in a variety of different roles from trustee to marketing and event support to skills assessors. BSO is fully inclusive and open to all who share our fundamental values. BSO exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

BSO Southern Europe wishes to appoint an additional trustee. Our trustee board provides collective leadership and oversight of the charity, and supports our volunteers who deliver our programme to young people around the world. The Trustee Board’s role is to support our volunteer line managers, through the District Lead Volunteer and District Chair, so that they can be as successful as possible in their role of supporting leadership teams to deliver our programme. You may be of any nationality and live in any part of the world – the only condition is that you are willing and able to carry out the duties of a trustee and to bring a constructive and independent-minded approach to the role.
