Subcamps across Poacher have special events, competitions, and fantastic units. This spotlight takes us to the clowns of the site... Circus Fest! Kicking off with their mural, they are inviting people from all over the subcamp to participate in colouring it in. They have also adopted Ele, the elephant, as subcamp leader.

The week has been packed full of events for Circus. On Wednesday evening they had a street party. Throughout the day, there was Circus cupcake decorating for everyone to take part in and show off their decorating skills, along with hat-making for all the attendees. All this preparation made for a fantastic street party that the whole subcamp enjoyed.

On Thursday there is balloon modelling in the morning or circus juggler craft and play dough in the afternoon. There is a quiz for the leaders of the subcamp in the evening, so come along and see if you can outwit your opponents. Lastly, there will be a celebration and awards evening on Thursday, so come along and celebrate all the subcamp achievements.

Along with the subcamp events, they also have Market Rasen, Gainsborough, and Haxey camping together as a district. They are one of the best fed groups on-site, with a full roast on Sunday containing nine different vegetables, roast beef, Yorkshire puddings and, to finish, sticky toffee pudding. Along with this Friday, the group will be enjoying 12m² of pizza and 14m of garlic bread. 

Not only do they have epic meals being made in the subcamp, but they also have Winnie the guide dog, who turns six on Friday. Along with this, Winnie has also acquired a necker to become a true participant of Poacher 2022. Please remember guide dogs are working, so talk to the owner before interacting with the dog.

Lastly, Circus Fest is also hosting the Dutch contingent, who have finished constructing their 5-foot windmill today. The windmill is one of the many exciting and grand structures across Circus Fest and the Poacher Jamboree site as a whole.

I’ve been Scouting since I was 7 am now an Assistant Scout Leader and District Youth Commissioner. I have been to many jamborees as a participant and as staff on the media team. In my personal life I work as a software developer, I dance every week and I’ve just started inline speed skating. A fun fact: My fastest time completing a 3x3 Rubik’s cube is 37 seconds (slow I know!) happy to solve any up to a 5x5 if you need to restart.
