The target for Poacher is to enable young people to have the adventure of a lifetime. This is achieved by giving Scouts and Guides aged 10-17 the opportunity to take part in activities they typically wouldn’t get to experience. Activities such as the simulator where you can experience the thrill of being in a Formula 1 race car and feel just what the drivers of the sport experience throughout the season.
New for Poacher 2022, there is the opportunity to experience driving with the driving school; get behind the wheel and experience the joy of learning how to drive with the brilliant driving instructors. One of the more popular activities enjoyed by young people and adults alike is Wheelchair Basketball. Test your basketball skills and reflexes with the fast paced, adrenaline fueled activity.
There are also activities such as archery, where you can test your aim and see how many bullseyes you can score. If you work well under pressure, there are escape rooms where you work as a team to escape the room before time runs out. Alternatively, you could have a go at African drumming using traditional West African drums and percussion instruments.
Crazy Golf is located near Poacher Challenge and can be taken at a slower pace with your friends. There are also the more traditional Scouting and Guiding bushcraft activities, like how to light a fire, learn how to use a Kelly Kettle (a kettle that can boil water in 3-5 minutes), how to make a shelter, how to use woodland resources or even have a go at swing braiding. There are so many activities that you can take part in throughout the week - the world is your oyster so make this week the adventure of your lifetime.
