  • County Leadership Conference 2026

    Our Lady's Catholic High School St Anthony's Drive, Fulwood, Preston, Lancashire, United Kingdom

    The County Conference is designed to be a positive and inspiring day, focused on helping our Groups and Districts meet the challenges of today’s Scouting environment, while also celebrating the many successes across West Lancashire. It will be a chance to share what is working well, learn from one another, and strengthen the support we offer to young people and volunteers in every part of the County. As we look ahead, the Conference will also provide an opportunity to hear more about the new Scouts strategy, which is being launched to help drive us forward. This exciting new direction will continue to create great opportunities for our young people and for all the adult volunteers who make Scouting possible. Above all, we want the day to feel welcoming, encouraging, and worthwhile — a chance to step back from the everyday pressures, spend time with others who share the same commitment, and leave feeling energised for the future.

  • Water Activities Permit Weekend

    Killington Lake Reservoir Road, Kendal, Cumbria, United Kingdom

    Splashu team members are supporting an event taking place on 21–22 March 2026 at Killington Lake, Cumbria (near Junction 38 of the M6). This is open to Scout Leaders who wish to renew, validate, or explore obtaining water activities permits. Activities on offer include kayaking, canoeing, dinghy sailing, powerboating (including safety boat), rafting, bell boating, and possibly stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), subject to assessor availability. Permits can be gained, renewed, or reviewed with advice on improving current skills; most new permits require the full weekend, while rafting may be completed in a day and renewals may take a day or half day depending on experience. The cost is £10 per day, and hot drinks and snacks will be available by donation thanks to World Jamboree attendees. Activities will run across both days, with some flexibility but limited by assessor availability.
