Who.
Anyone of high school age.
When.
Ad hoc meetings on an as-and-when basis. Including afternoons, evenings, full days, or weekends at Towford and elsewhere.
What.
Renovate, develop, and run Towford Outdoor Centre. Establish wild camp sites, and maintain the grounds. Have a youth committee that will have direct and hands-on input on how the centre runs. We’ll also offer outdoor activities – camping, backwoods skills, (cooking, knife, axe & saw, survival skills), shooting and much more besides.
The nitty-gritty.
How much does it cost? Nothing at the moment. We’re at an early stage with a low membership. Is it like Scouts? A wee bit – but no uniforms, flags, or bureaucracy. We’ve cherry-picked all the bits that work and make sense, and left out all the rest.
Our emphasis is still on building confidence – not with awards or keeping score, but with developing skills and experiences, while having a good time with pals.
