How does it work?
The camp is planned around Beaver Activity badges as well as some fun activities that are not linked to badges:
- Air Activities 1 Badge
- Builder badge
- Cook Badge
- Creative Badge
- Experiment Badger
- Explore Badge
- Hikes Away 1 Badge
- Space Badge
You can do as many as you want – there is no limit! Reach for the stars!
The activities will be available after the opening ceremony at 10am and will stay open all weekend. Do as many as you can and upload a picture of you joining in (1st name or group only – no surnames)! How much can you achieve in the weekend? Send your pictures to your own Colony social media or leaders as well as to the whole county photo gallery so you can contribute to the big picture of the weekend.
Join us for the virtual campfire in the evening with your smores and blanket.
And, of course, because it is a camp, you can’t sleep in a nice comfy bed – time to catch some ZZZZs in a den or a tent – whatever your space allows 🙂

Reach for the Stars will run from 10am on Saturday 5th February 2022 until 4pm on Sunday 6th February 2022. 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.
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 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. The event ends at 4pm but the activities will remain open for those still joining in.

Reach for the Stars 2022 Activities
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 your Colony leaders if you are not sure about this.
