There are several very successful annual events run by Ormskirk Scouts.
This is an evasion exercise – a big game of “hide and seek”. Originally created as a training game for Alcatraz, its success has rocketed in recent years. Moonlight happens in late January each year, and teams of Scouts and Explorers try to get from A to B without getting caught, and arrive within a time window. It is normal to have over 400 people on this event, and lasts for around 9 hours.
Alcatraz is a larger version of Moonlight, run in early July for Explorer Scouts and Scout Network members. It is 24 hours long, and teams often cover 30 miles on their route. This has been running for over 20 years and is a firm favourite in the annual calendar.
This is an event for Cubs and Scouts, running in Spring at Tawd Vale Scout camp. It is a day-long event, and the teams complete a wide range of activities through the day, all fun and designed to get them thinking! This is a fantastic and magical event for the youngsters.
The Ormskirk Gathering is THE event to be on! It is a weekend camp which is open to all members of the District. Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Network camp over for the weekend, Beavers come along as day visitors on the Saturday, there are Discos and Talent Shows – the whole weekend is a non-stop programme of fun events for all! The Gathering runs in Mid-September
