Festival of Transport 2023

12 March 2023

Following the amazing success of previous years with taking part in the Basingstoke Festival of Transport, we have been asked to once again attend this event. This event is really good for promoting Scouting in Basingstoke and resulted in a great uptake of young people registering as well as a few adult volunteers. This years event takes place on Sunday 14th May.

Last year we took a climbing wall, and caving bus which we’re pleased to say will both be returning this year. We are really excited that this will allow us to offer two Scouting activities to members of the public to help drive interest in Scouting. We will again charge a small fee for these activities to cover the cost of us getting them on site.

We can’t do this without you though….we are calling on volunteers from across the district to sign up to help us for the day. We need people to run the climbing wall, caving experience, talk to potential members and volunteers, and much more. The impact of this event really does help every single group so we really hope that every group can be represented across the day.

We know we’re asking you to give up some more of your time so we’ve divided the day up into time slots so you don’t have to be with us the whole day, simply let us know what times you can help out. If you’d like to come along all day, then simply select them all. Nearer the time we will also be asking some young people to join us again too.

Register now to let us know that you’re able to help out on this fun day.
