Subcamp - Retro Fest

Subcamp Leader - Karen McGarry

Why did you sign up as Subcamp Leader?

I applied to be Subcamp Leader because I love organising events especially after helping on Historical Legends during the last Poacher!

How long have you been involved in Scouting or Guiding?

I have been involved in Scouting since 2003 when my son’s Scout troop needed support.  I then restarted the Beaver colony at the group. 

What are you most looking forward to at Poacher 2022?

I’m looking forward to helping the staff with their enquiries, seeing all the smiles on everyone’s faces and getting back together after this recent difficult time. 

Top 5 things to bring to Poacher:

  • My sleeping bag
  • Sun lotion
  • Hair brush
  • Toothbrush
  • A good assortment of clothes

What is your favourite activity at Poacher?

I don’t have a favourite activity - I love them all!

Why did you sign up as Subcamp Leader?

I applied to be Subcamp Leader because I enjoyed helping run a subcamp (Historical Legends) in 2017. 

How long have you been involved in Scouting or Guiding?

I have been involved since about 2005 as Karen needed someone to drive the minibus for one of the Beaver colonies she ran. 

What are you most looking forward to at Poacher 2022?

I am looking forward to ensuring the staff have a good time whilst they’re off-duty and when I’m off-duty,  going round the activities to see how much fun the Scouts and Guides are having. 

Top 5 things to bring to Poacher:

I'm lucky that my wife packs our bags, I don't know what I'd bring!

What is your favourite activity at Poacher?

I don’t have a favourite activity, they’re all great.
