The fun
starts here!

Welcome to Poacher! You’re finally here, at Lincolnshire’s very own international Scout and Guide camp, at the Lincolnshire Showground. Our activities team have spent the last three years working away to bring you the largest range of activities that we can at a UK Jamboree, and make sure that there’s something for everyone - whatever you feel like doing! From adventurous activities on land, water and in the air, to creative crafts that make great souvenirs, the range on offer is phenomenal. Don’t forget our environmental action projects, giving you the chance to make a difference in the local area, along with trips to some of the greatest attractions in Lincolnshire, from the castle to the cathedral. The site services team have been here since Monday morning filling the site with toilets, showers, marquees and all the infrastructure that 5000 people will need to live for a week. When the camp is full, there will be more people with us than the nearby town of Horncastle. Every camper is allocated a selection of tickets at the start of the week, and you can swap them with your mates throughout the week. Enjoy the opening ceremony tonight, take part in as many activities as you can, and make loads of new friends!

Opening Ceremony
Once you’ve set up camp, had your evening meal and are all settled in, it’s time for the Opening Ceremony - a time to declare Poacher officially open, and celebrate in style! All groups need to be ready in full uniform by 6.30pm and make their way to their Sub Camp HQs to begin their short journey into the main arena in the centre of the showground. Please wear waterproofs if it’s raining! Evening entertainment continues across the site into the night, so you can celebrate the opening and party! Evening ents finish at 9.30pm and lights out at 11!
Vehicles
All vehicles should be removed from the main site and relocated into the car parking areas by 4pm. The Poacher 2013 site has a strict ‘no vehicles’ policy for both environmental and safety reasons, with the exception of the medical team and essential site services, such as waste removal. Thank you for your co-operation.
