When is it?
Synergise is on the May Day Bank Holiday weekend
in 2007. Camping will start on Friday 4th May 2007,
and the final activities and celebrations will conclude
three days later on Monday 7th May 2007.
Where is Synergise?
This massive event is taking place at Hesley
Wood Activity Centre which is close to Barnsley,
Sheffield and Doncaster.
What will be happening at
the weekend?
The Synergise Team is currently building a
programme that will be bursting with activities,
adventure and celebration. There will be high-adrenaline
action activities, imaginative creative workshops,
discos and parties, and loads of unique ways
to celebrate 100 years of Scouting. Read more
about the event's
activities here.
Who can come?
Synergise is for all members of Scouting in South
Yorkshire. We are striving for total participation
from all groups in the county either as campers
or as day visitors. The District Explorer Scout
units and the Scout Network are also invited to
join us for this weekend of adventure and excitement.
Can we come just for a day?
Beavers and their leaders are invited to visit us
on Sunday to join in the festivities, take part
in the thanksgiving and share the birthday cake!
How much does it cost?
This is one of the most cost-effective Centenary
camps in the UK.
:: £30 per young person for the weekend
:: £10 per adult
:: £5 for day visitors (Sunday / Beavers
only)
:: £2 for leader day visitors
What do we get for our money?
A packed programme of activities and entertainment
for both young people and adults, from Friday night
to Monday afternoon. Food is the only thing not
included in the cost, other than birthday cake.
How do we book?
It is really simple. Visit our booking
form section where there is an online form that
you can fill in and send back to us. On that you'll
need to give us a few details about who you are
and how many people you will be bringing. All you
need to do then to secure your place is put a cheque
in the post to cover your deposit. Your places at
this amazing celebration weekend will then be secure.
Should you prefer you can download a form from that
same page to print out and send to us by post with
your deposit.
Is there a deadline for
booking?
We need as many people to book early as possible.
The absolute deadline for bookinds is April
1st 2007 when final balances will be due.
Why is it called Synergise?
One of the main aims of the 2007 celebrations nationally
is to 'Energise" the movement. By adding our
county's initials to the start, we get Synergise.
This is defined as "the enhanced result of
two or more people, groups or organisations working
together." As this more or less sums up what
we've always known about Scouting in South Yorkshire,
we thought it was an ideal name for our celebration
camp!
