Skycamp 2025 at Bonaly Scout Centre
Nearly two hundred Explorers from across South East Scotland took part in Skycamp at Bonaly from 26th–28th September 2025. Teams built and stayed in camps set up between 50cm and 3 metres above the ground, using ropes, hammocks, and pioneering poles. The event focused on teamwork, practical skills, and making sure camps were safe and tidy. Building the Skyzones was a highlight for many, with Explorers enjoying the challenge of creating their own base in the trees. Cooking, eating, and sleeping off the ground made for a memorable weekend. Well done to Robert, Caroline, Caelan, Willa, Lucas and Max from Borestane Explorers, Pentland, for their efforts. Thanks to everyone who took part and helped make the event a success. Thanks to all the leaders involved and for the support of Bonaly Scout Centre. Fraser Dunmore
