    Posted by Lily Hambly on Aug 5, 2022 10:28:33 AM

    Folk Fest: a place of “peace and harmony” with the same atmosphere of a village fete. There is a constant comfort of mellow music and the “coming together” of fifty-three Scout, Explorer, and Girlguide groups. Folk fest is home to groups from far and wide including; Scotland, America, and Wales, but of course there are several English groups too.

    Only the Bravest in Quest Fest

    Posted by Amy Emmott on Aug 4, 2022 8:00:00 PM

     

    Dragons, goblins, quests and adventure. If any of these interests you, then head on over to Quest Fest – their mystic charm will enchant you. Going into the camp, it’s not unusual to see a unit chanting and cheering their way back to site.

    Dave, the subcamp leader, said it was “based on the renaissance fairs from America”. The success in this endeavour is evident as you get the medieval and mythical vibe from the moment you step into the subcamp.

    On Monday night, they held a massive fancy dress festival. In their costumes, they paraded around the subcamp, past guest Judges sitting on the thrones. While they were walking by, they gave a backstory to their character. These ranged from Doctor Who to Harry Potter, whilst the Welsh came forward with a spectacular flag-inspired dragon.

    When we spoke to Louisa from Lincoln Guides, she told us that she enjoyed watching the parade but thought that she, “could do better” as she brandished her newly painted shield. On Wednesday evening, the 54 units went head-to-head in a heated quiz to determine which unit has the most powerful and quick minds.

    If you want to drop in, feel free to say hi as there are plenty of on-the-go crafts. You can do these anytime, such as Hama beads, keyrings, shields and paracord woggles.
