CareMonkey invitations will be sent once you’re confirmed as attending.
Parent Helpers are required to assist with catering and running activities, so If your parent/s can help, please ask them to let your Leader know and fill in their availability via the TryBooking form.
Rovers, Venturers and Scouts are also wanted to come and help assist with running activities. If you have a Scouting sibling, ask them to come have fun and help! Or ask your Scout, Venturer and Rover sections.
