Kibblestone International Scout Campsite

So, we've been making some changes to the Dale Shelter, with the kind support of the Dale family and volunteers from Walsall and the Kibblestone staff and Gotcha Monday and Tuesday teams.
To remind you of how it used to look, here are a few pictures.....

"Your silent tents of green We deck with fragrant flowers; Yours has the suffering been, The memory shall be ours." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ho ho ho!

The team have been on a bit of a team building exercise today, they managed to escape in less than the hour so we've allowed them some lunch!

Our instructors have as much fun as the visitors!

Our instructors have been gaining new skills this weekend, in between delivering the activities for the camp.
Laura was getting to grips with the low ropes, no idea what Pat was doing!

As always, a huge thank you to our staff and volunteers who make the weekend possible.
From cleaning, to preparing the food for everyone, to delivering the activities - every little helps!
THANK YOU!

It was so cold last night, all the campers earned our "sub-zero" badge.
If you would like a chance to earn one why not book for our free camping weekend 1-3 February 2019?

That's a wrap on the 2018 Autumn Activity Camp!
Thank you to all the groups who came this year, it's been a delight as always to see you.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Here come the instructors back for their lunch! 🍟🥣🥪

155th Derby (Etwall) have videoed all their Scouts' axe throwing attempts.
How impressive does this slow-motion footage look?

1st Shawbury Air Scouts all seemed to really like the High All Aboard - some were hugging it really tightly!

We are so lucky to have such a beautiful facility such as this, on our doorstep.

The staff and volunteers are so polite make you feel ever so welcome especially in the shop, love coming back here, I still can't believe how big the place is, hopefully be back next year for more, a BIG THANK YOU. from 1st saracens Biddulph Moor, beavers cubs scouts and explorer's.

The site is amazing ; the staff are so polite and helpful ; theres everything for beavers cubs scouts ; its good to see they keeping up with the ground; facilities; and I think it is amazing what they have done with the old swimming pool (turned into a pond great that is )

So many happy memories here! The plunge pool and international camps were always 😉

Remember kib in early 70s, used to av the death swing on the cliff.the outdoor pool used to freeze over . Loved the place.

Kibblestone is fantastic place to visit camp out

I stayed here in August 1979 with our Venturer and Scout troop from Dublin. We had an absolutely fabulous time and I still have very fond memories from that camp.

Happy New year from the Kibblestone scout District Team

First visit for Leyland St Marys and certainly not the last. Brilliant site, staff and activities very well looked after this weekend

Could happily live there

Beavers had a great time although one hour dinner was to long for most as they were ready to go after half hour . 10/10

All the staff are friendly and helpful, enjoyed my time there a lot.

Absolutely perfect. Staff excellent with the Cubs and can't wait to return again.

Absolutely Brilliant!!! we stay there every year!!
