Calling all nights away assessors, permit holders and anyone wanting to be one. Gather round the campfire and join Scout Adventures for The Nights Away Weekender: a two-night skills fest just for you.
Taking place from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th November 2026 at Great Tower, this weekend of adventure will be packed full of workshops and practical skills for great residentials. Think programme planning, fires, outdoor cooking, equipment care and camp gadgets. This is a hands-on weekend.
Our tailored sessions mean it doesn’t matter whether you’re an old-hand or just starting out. We’ll pitch our sessions to your level.
It’ll also be a great opportunity to meet other volunteers, so you’ll be in good company.
You’ll join us at our nights away marketplace. Not only will we have all the gear on show, you’ll be able to swap ideas and advice too. You’ll leave confident to deliver great overnight experiences for young people.
