The Scouts’ annual Easter Walking and Activity Week to Castleton in the Derbyshire Peak District will take place during the first week of the Easter holidays, 28 March - 4 April 2026.
We have a varied programme including hill walking, swimming and other activities such as cycling and low-level climbing, as well as the opportunity to head into the local village and activities & games in the centre. We have exclusive use of the Rotary Centre in Castleton, a short walk from the village, which includes a purpose-build dormitory block with bunk bed accommodation in rooms of four and central heating, along with a games hall, dining hall, and lots of outdoor space.
Walking groups are based on age and experience, and are led by an experienced leader or instructor. For the older Scouts we aim to complete their Chief Scout's Award expedition, an experience that will leave some great memories.
Walking boots (not DM’s) and decent waterproofs are essential for this trip, and the Group has a number of good quality waterproofs and rucksacks that can be hired. There is a small hire charge of £5 per item to cover wear & tear and to help cover the cost of cleaning and replacing them. These borrowed items will be collected at the end of the week before we return home.
We hold a pre-trip meeting for parents and those going on the trip at The Den on Tuesday 3rd March at 7.30pm, All those attending the trip should attend. Group equipment will be available to hire on this evening.
