Reach for the Stars

Reach for the Stars will run from 10am on Saturday 15th May 2021 until 4pm  on Sunday 16th May 2021.

Attending Reach for the Stars costs nothing!  You just need to sign up and join in. If you are not from Surrey Scouts and you would like a badge (dispatched after the event), it will cost £3 for the badge and postage.  Details of purchase will available in the joining pack.

Beavers need to be registered for the event by their parents/carers/guardians.

Each Beaver needs to be registered separately so if you have two Beavers in your family, they will need to be registered separately.  This will allow for the correct number of badges to be dispatched.

This event has closed

The camp starts with an opening ceremony at 10am.

Members are then invited to set up their camp and make it as awesome as possible.

Activities are then available for Beavers to join in with at their own pace.  Beavers need to do one from each zone but Beavers can do as many of them as they want and, if you want to, you can upload pictures and videos of the Beavers doing them.

Please remember to only use first names and a group if you want but not first and last names.  If Beavers want to, they can use make this My Group sheet match their scarf colour and use it with their pictures.

There will be a closing ceremony at 4pm but the activities will remain open for those still joining in.

Visit the Activities sections of this event to find what is on offer.  These will go live just before the event opens and will remain live until at least the end of the camp.

There is a lot going on at Reach for the Stars and you can make it fit to the time you have and what you want to do.

Each activity sheet in the booklet tells you what you need to do and has links to the Beaver badges that it will help Beavers to achieve.  This will be useful information to pass on to leaders so that they can tick off the relevant badges.  Make sure that you supply them with some evidence of the activity being completed.  If your colony uses it, this may be done through Badges at Home in Online Scout Manager.  Check with you Colony leaders if you are not sure about this.
