Subcamp Leader - David Thompson
How long have you been involved in Scouting or Guiding?
Well, somewhere there are rumoured photos of me in a washing up bowl on a Guide camp when I was a matter of months old! I've been in Scouts 21 years as a Leader but before that Ventures, Scouts and Cubs…
What are you most looking forward to at Poacher 2022?
The opening ceremony… Unfortunately, I managed to miss the entire thing at the last Poacher!
Top 5 things to bring to Poacher:
- Plenty of neckers (always looking to swap like for like)
- Money for a proper coffee whilst the young people are doing activities!
- Fundraising ideas
- Friendship bracelets etc. to sell to leaders
- A tent… of course!
- Finally, ear plugs… I’m running a subcamp set of Live Action Role Play… at night there will be a lot of dragons roaring (or at least that's how us leaders will explain our snoring!)
What is your favourite activity at Poacher?
I have already mentioned it but… the Coffee bar is a needed distraction! I also like chatting to the young People raising money for trips about what they are doing and where they are going.
