Grow 50 Activity Weekend - 2024
Grow 50 offered support and rewards for growing Scouts in Kent. All Groups and District Explorer Scout provisions that grew at the January 2024 census were entered into a prize draw – the more they’d grown, the more entries they had in the draw. There were 5 prizes of an activity day at Lower Grange Farm and the draw was made in April.
The winners were:
- Corpus Christi Explorer Unit, Tonbridge
- Culverstone & Vigo Scout Group, Gravesham
- Phoenix Explorer Unit, Maidstone East
- 11th Tonbridge (St Andrews), Paddock Wood Scout Group, Tonbridge
- 31st Gravesend (St Aidens), Gravesham
The winners weekend was 19th and 20th October and included the opportunity to camp overnight. There were young people from Squirrel age up to Explorers, with climbing, pedal karts, air riffle shooting, cave bus, fun bus, archery, circus skills, nerf games and more on offer. The weekend deliberately coincided with JOTA-JOTI (Jamboree on the Air - Jamboree on the Internet) which is the world's largest digital Scout event, and Lower Grange Farm hosted both online and radio activities for the winners to join in.
Congratulations to all the winners and we hope you enjoyed your day!
