Gilwell 24 was an annual national event for Explorer Scouts held every July at Gilwell Park in Essex.
2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to Covid and there has been no news yet about the event restarting.
This was always one of the most popular events of the year amongst our Explorers, especially falling just after the end of the exam season, and we have attended every year since the Unit started, arriving and camping on the Friday night before the 24 hours of activities start at 9am on Saturday morning.
We have generally also invited the older Scouts from our 'feeder' Troops to join us and get a taste of life as an Explorer Scout.
