The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Leader selection weekend is taking place over 27th - 29th June 2025. This is taking place at Sandy Acres Guide campsite (near Shedfield, just along from Lyons Copse Campsite).
We need some helpers for the weekend. We are particularly looking for
| Friday 27th June (Evening, from 7pm) | 5 Adults |
| Saturday 28th June (mainly daytime, but some evening) | 35 adults |
| Sunday 29th June (morning only) | 5 adults |
| Friday evening 7:00pm - Sunday Morning until 12:30 | 20 Older Scouts / Explorers |
Adults
Adults must be 18 or over as of 27th June 2025, and must be on the membership system with a valid DBS.
If you can help, please E-mail us at [email protected], and let us know your membership number, date of birth and contact E-mail address, along with what days you can help us on.
If you are planning on attending the Hampshire County Scouts AGM (and helping on Sunday morning), we will ensure you can leave by 12pm (its a 45min drive).
Under 18's
If you can help, please ask a parent to E-mail us at [email protected], and let us know your name, date of birth, and your contact E-mail address. Also include a parent name and contact E-mail address.
We will have a leader specifically assigned to look after the under 18's during the weekend.
OSM
We will be using an OSM entry (WSJ2027) to manage all attendees at the leader selection weekend. Once we have received your E-mail, we will start a record on OSM to gather further information, and to invite you to attend the weekend.
Camping / Food
For the weekend, if you are staying overnight, you will be camping, so will need to bring a tent along.
However, we will feed you (please bring a plate bag along).
There are no costs for the weekend, we appreciate your help.
What will we be doing for the weekend?
We have a wide range of things that need to be done over the weekend. This could be helping to run activities, it could helping to assess the applicants, it could simply be fetching and carrying etc. For the under 18's, you will be a pretend WSJ unit of young people, and will therefore be interacting with the applicants.
If you have any questions, please contact us on [email protected]
