Centenary Camp Newsletter

The PR team have been working on a pre-camp newsletter.

We've been working hard on putting together our first newsletter "The Buzz". It will be published monthly and available to download on the Centenary Camp website. Keep an eye out for Issue 1, which will be out in May!


Sneak Preview

A day in Leeds

Had a fab day up near Leeds last weekend, with around 50 Directors/Managers from the various camp teams. It was nice to finally put names to faces.

We were welcomed by Hilary, the camp Chief and Liz Burnely, the Chief Guide and then it was off to Harewood House for a walk around the grounds.

Each of the teams split off to go and explore the site and to see where 10,000 people would be camping in less than 18months! It’s an amazing location.

Then it was back to Bramhope Scout Centre for lunch before our PR team meeting. We spent most of the afternoon discussing the Media Team Selection weekend in June and everyone added to their to-do lists.

Everyone left buzzing and everything seems a little more real now!

Bookings are open in less than 24hours for the Camp! Hoping lots of groups are applying from Cheshire Forest...

Training at CHQ

Was an early start this morning.

Had to be on the 6.45am train to Euston, but have to say I'm very impressed with the super fast service to London now (only 2hours)!

Met with my assistant Manager Kat for breakfast (food is always an important item on the agenda!) then it was off to CHQ for a quick dash around the Guide Shop before our training.

Today we met with the Web Content Manager for training on the CMS (Content Management System) which drives the Centenary Camp website. Basically, we learned how to add content - text, images, video etc

It was a great day and now we're ready to get cracking!
