Roar 2020
Welcome to Roar 2020 – Surrey Scout County’s first ever whole county stay at home camp!
14th – 16th August 2020
Everyone can join in: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Network members, SASU members, Leaders, parents – everyone!
How does it work?
Each day is divided into sessions. Pick at lease one activity from each Main session and upload a picture of you joining in (1st name or group only – no surnames)! Choose as many of the added Extras to try and get as much in your weekend as possible – how much can you achieve in a weekend?
Join us for the virtual campfires in the evening with your smores and blanket.
On Sunday evening, we will hold our first County BBQ with everyone having a BBQ together at the same time.
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 🙂
For leaders, there are some online training sessions to sign up for too

Roar will run from the afternoon of Friday 14th August 2020 – the evening of Sunday 16th August 2020. Attending Roar costs nothing! You just need to sign up and join in.
A separate registration is required for each member attending. The same email address can be used for multiple members within a family. This is to allow each attendee to receive a badge which will be distributed via section leaders when face to face Scouting resumes.
The camp starts with flagbreak at 2pm. Members are then invited to set up their camp and make it as awesome as possible. Each day there will be a series of challenges to undertake. You can do as many of them as you want and, if you want to, you can upload pictures and videos of you doing them. Please remember to only use first names and a group if you want but not first and last names. Activities will include: Visit the Activities sections of this event to find the resources needed. There will also be training sessions for leaders too so you can get yourself upskilled! Book into these sessions via the links in the training sessions part of this event menu.
There is a lot going on at Roar and you can make it fit to the time you have and what you want to do. There are a selection of Main activities going on through the weekend that showcase Surrey Scouting. These links will become live just before Roar starts.
