Area Camp 2025 – Bangoree
We’re super excited to announce that we’re planning an area camp for 2025 and you’re invited! We’ll be taking over Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse from Friday 11th July until Sunday 13th July 2025. There will be a range of activities for all sections.
Whilst we are still in the planning stages of Bangoree, we’ll be updating this page with all of the latest updates and developments!
Want to help us make Bangoree the most epic weekend possible? We’d love to have you on board to help – whether it’s something small like helping to run an activity, making sure our risk assessments are in check or helping with the bod squad or whether you want to take a leading role with our planning team, everyone is welcome!
We’ll be sharing all the booking information here when bookings go live in January 2025.
Bookings are now open!
We are using a booking system called Scouts EMS.
To book your group onto Bangoree, leaders and volunteers from the group will first have to register onto the system, selecting their group from the list. Once registered you can start adding on your young people. You will then be provided with a link to send to your parents/carers for them to upload all of their young person’s information.
Event Staff and Volunteers will use a separate link (below).
