There are around 107 participants in the 50/50 programme. On a typical day, I wake up around 8 am and head towards the Epic Centre. I eat breakfast with my Explorer Unit, the White Dragons Explorer Group. We have travelled from South Wales to come to Poacher 2022.

Not too sure how to? Well, your fellow Poacher participants have a few tips. This may seem obvious, but just going up to people and saying hi often works. Olly from 3rd Harpenden Scouts, Circus Fest, put it simply, “just go up and start a conversation”. He was kind enough to give a live demonstration and now has another acquaintance at Poacher. But what to say after that? Ask, where are you from? Which subcamp are you a member of? What has been your favourite activity so far?  [Read More](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/everyone-is-a-potential-friend) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/everyone-is-a-potential-friend#comments-listing) Topics: [Insider](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/insider), [Subcamps](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/subcamps), [Participation](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/participation), [Activities](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/activities) ## [Daily Round Up Tuesday 2nd August](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/daily-round-up-monday-1st-august-0) Posted by [JamFM](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/author/sc) on Aug 2, 2022 8:14:56 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/hubfs/received_614307283348199-1.jpeg)](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/daily-round-up-monday-1st-august-0) On our third day of activities here's Daily Round up from JamFM   [Read More](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/daily-round-up-monday-1st-august-0) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/daily-round-up-monday-1st-august-0#comments-listing) Topics: [Insider](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/insider), [Programme](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/programme), [Participation](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/participation), [Featured](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/featured), [Scout Radio](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/tag/scout-radio) ## [A History of Poacher](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/a-history-of-poacher) Posted by [Deanna Carden](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/author/deanna-carden) on Aug 2, 2022 6:40:30 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/hubfs/2004.png)](https://blog.poacher.org.uk/listing/a-history-of-poacher) Poacher jamboree has been running since 1977 and has always taken place at the Lincolnshire Showground. Poacher gets its name from The Lincolnshire Poacher, a famous folk song specific to Lincolnshire. Many will not know the song, but the song's refrain has remained within some people’s memories, ‘O, tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year.’ The premise of the song is a poacher who lived and died at Welton, a village located about two and a half miles away, to the east of the campsite. The subcamp theme for Poacher 1977 was also based around the song, with animals, you would find in a poacher’s bag.
