Hillwalking Permit Weekend

February 1, 2022

Our BSO Hillwalking permit weekend will take place on Friday 25- Saturday 27 March 2022 in the English Peak District.


We are using Glenbrook – which is in the Hope Valley in Derbyshire. Accommodation will be in bunk room accommodation and be self-catered. We will be arrange to pick people up from East Midlands Airport for those travelling on low cost flights. The plan is to arrive Friday evening and have a full day on the hills on Saturday, and then allow people to leave after lunch time on Sunday.

You can see the details of the centre here.


The cost is £50 per person to cover accommodation, food and pick up costs from East Midlands Airport where needed. For more details contact Howard Nelson.   You can sign up for the event

We already know you love camping, supporting and developing young people, the chance to meet new people and visit other countries. If you would like a great opportunity to combine all of these, we want to hear from you. We would like to offer our young people more choice in summer camps. Groups of around 40 young people and 4 to 6 adults taking part in an international experience to build their confidence or gain top awards. This is what our young people have to say from previous events; I would recommend a BSO Jamboree because… “It’s AMAZING! It’s been the best experience I've had in my life, really well organised” - Morgan, Paris Explorers “I think it's an experience to meet people that you will remember for the rest of your life from other countries” – Fernanda, Madrid Scouts “It’s the BEST experience in my life” – Marcos, Madrid Explorers “It was a great way to meet new people and try new things and have freedom” – Elizabeth, Dubai Scouts “I loved it, I made so many new friends that I have kept in contact with after camp that I really enjoyed it. Also, I believe that it was a good experience to be away from parents for a long time” – Alex, Dubai Explorers “You’ll have fun, new experiences, meet new people & learn new sports like sailing” – Kumail, Dubai Explorers “It was a great experience and it was a pleasure to be able to meet with multiple internationally based scouts in one place while participating in fun activities” - Ethan, Doha Scouts “It’s really fun, a great experience in general, you meet people from everywhere which is something you get nowhere else” - Lieve, Paris Scouts These our the current opportunities, we are happy to hear from you if you have other ideas as well;
