2,000 attend first BUC Adventurer Camporee

10 August 2018 | Ardingly, UK [Richard Daly / tedNEWS]] It was a truly exciting moment for over 2000 Adventurers ranging in age from 4-9 years old as they assembled on the grounds of the South of England Showground, Ardingly, West Sussex to be part of the first Adventurer Camporee ever held in the British Union Conference (BUC). It was an exciting time for the 200 staff members too, who spent the year leading up to this event planning and preparing for all the logistics involved in such a large event. Held from Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 July, the young campers were to experience the full blast of Britain's variations in weather, essential camping skills, uniform inspections, awards and all the packed activities planned for the extended weekend.

The enthusiastic singing of ’10,000 reasons’? The preaching and teaching of Ty Gibson, David Asscherick and World Church President, Ted Wilson? Or the networking across continents that took place during meal breaks, small group discussion and during workshops.
