Adults Activity Weekend – June 2026
All adult members of Romsey District Scouts are invited to join us at Lockerley Scout HQ for a fun, active and social day (and night!) on Saturday 9th June 2026.
As adults in Scouting, we’re often organising fun activities for our young people – and it’s not uncommon for us to say “This is fun, I’d like to have a go myself!” So that’s what we’re going to do!

As a thank you to all our volunteers for everything they do, the majority of the costs of the weekend will be covered by Romsey District. There will be a small fee towards the costs of meals, camping over and towards the materials for the more expensive workshops. All costs are indicated on the booking form.
For any questions, to cancel a booking or if you know an organisation who might like to come along and run an activity on the day, please email secretary@romseyscouts.org
