•  Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How old do I have to be to be a participant at CDE24?

A.  You have to be a member of Penwith & IOS Scouts or Guides and you need to be between the ages of 10 and 25 years old.

Q.  Do I have to have camped before?

A.  YES!  As this is a 10 day event, you will not be allowed to participate unless you have camped at least once before, preferably more. This helps eliminate the chance of home-sickness. 

Q.  Will my own Section Leader be at CDE24?

A.  The list of Leaders that will be attending CDE24 is not yet known.  There is a chance that your own Section Leaders will be going but this depends on a lot of things including numbers and also available time off from work!

Check on the "Leaders" page to see if your favourite leader is going to be there!

Q.  I stayed with a Danish Scout in 2018, is it possible for me to stay with them this time?

A. No.  Our Scout HQ have made Home Hospitality very, very difficult to arrange and have stopped HoHo from happening away from the UK so we have made the hard decision that instead of a week on camp and a week in HoHO, we have changed it to 10 days on camp only.  We are very sad about this... :-( 

If you have any other burning questions, please don't hesitate to email.  The chances are if you need to know something, there are probably lots of other people wanting to know the same thing.  Just Ask!
