UKSN Summer Camp 2024 Recap: A Memorable Weekend at Rough Close Scout Camp

Running from the 30th August to the 1st September, our annual UKSN Summer Camp was nothing short of awesome. Here’s a comprehensive look at what made this camp so special and why you should mark your calendars for our next adventure: the UKSN Halloween Camp.

This year’s summer camp was powered by EcoFlow, a leading name in portable power solutions, who generously provided goodie bags.

Technology enthusiasts were in for a treat with our drone demonstrations. We had the new DJI Avata 2 in action, showcasing its impressive features and capabilities. The opportunity to see the latest in drone technology up close was a hit among members, and many took the chance to learn more about how drones can be used in various outdoor and survival scenarios.

Community Spirit and Camaraderie

The true essence of UKSN lies in its community spirit, and this summer camp was a testament to that. Members from across the UK came together, sharing experiences, learning new skills, and forging lasting friendships. The sense of camaraderie was evident throughout the weekend, from the interactive workshops to the shared meals and evening campfire chats.

Our mutual assistance groups, or Charters, played a crucial role in the success of the camp. The MudDogs in particular contributed their unique skills and knowledge, enhancing the overall experience for everyone involved. The collaborative effort of our members is what makes UKSN events so special.
