Skills Matter 2024

It's Skills Matter weekend! Are you feeling a bit rusty and want to update your scouting skills or even fancy learning a new skill?

Do you have an awesome skill that you would like to share with others?

The County are running their annual Skills Matter weekend at Raywell for anyone who fancies learning new skills or sharing theirs or both! It will be a great opportunity to meet others and network without the young people.

There will be a barbecue on the evening and you are welcome to stay over - indoor accommodation is available and there’s always plenty of camping space! We know it may be your St George's Day event on the Sunday so please feel free to leave early Sunday if you wish, or come for the day on Saturday.

Please do let us know what skills you would want to learn or improve on or if you have skills to share! Breakfast and evening meals are provided all weekend - just bring your own drinks for the Saturday evening!

Accommodation

Accommodation will be indoors (until we are full) and you will need a sleeping bag and an overnight bag. Camping is available as well.

Cost

Training is free of charge to all Leaders in Humberside County. However, The County reserve the right to make a charge of £10 per person for any places booked where people do not turn up or cancel within 48 hours of the weekend.
