What is Bubbs Hill Bash?
The event is a team challenge for Guides and Rangers in Gloucestershire which takes place on Bubbs Hill at our County Headquarters, Deer Park, Cowley. It is an opportunity for Guides, Rangers and their Leaders to experience a large scale event, and make friends from around the County. This years event will take place on Saturday 25th - Sunday 26th May 2023, with staggered arrival times from around 8.30am, these details are yet to be finalised. After the official opening the challenge will begin. Teams will make their way around the activities earning as any points as they can in a bid to be crowned the winners. Points are awarded for completion of tasks and good team work. Dinner will be served on main site after the activities have ended and there will then be further activities and games on main site ending with a campfire. The challenge itself takes the teams around Deer Park and Bubbs Hill where they will take part in various challenges. Each team is also asked to bring their own 'pet' mallet which also likes to take part in challenges and could gain the Team bonus points! Leaders
Each unit must have at least one Leader attending the event and must adhere to Girlguiding's 1:12 ratio. All Leaders will be expected to help out during the activity times and specific roles and timings will be sent to you nearer the time. If booking a mix of residential and day please ensure you have enough leaders to cover both groups. We may need to split the group for pick up/drop off and meal times |
