LINCS FEST 2024 - Bookings now open


We welcome you to join us at Lincs Fest. This is Lincolnshire's very own version of Gilwell Reunion, including seminars and workshops, practical skill development opportunities, fun and adventurous activities, and lots of opportunities to socialise with fellow scouters.

The event is running from Saturday 21 September (with activities starting 10am) to Sunday 22 September (Lunchtime) and also the option to just come for the day on the Saturday. Full information and details will be shared with all participants a month before the event. We would encourage people to bring a tent for camping, but there is the option to bring a caravan/camper van if required. Electric and water hook-up is not available however. 


One form needs completing per participant. Booking Link = https://forms.office.com/e/dp3e6NZg5M


The cost of the event is £7 for member within Lincolnshire Scouts and £10 for any other member of the Scout Association. All scouters, including Trustee Board members and Occasional Helpers are welcome. The event is STRICTLY over 18's only. Cost includes badge, travel mug, access to the event and all activities and tea/coffee/squash facilities throughout the event. You are encouraged to bring a pack up/picnic for Saturday lunchtime and purchase dinner from the range of street vendors that will be onsite for the Saturday evening. Sausage baps, bacon baps and a vegetarian/gluten free option will be available Sunday money at a small cost - with profits going towards our world Scout Jamboree Unit Leadership Team. There will also be a full bar open and available Saturday night at an additional cost to participants.

Vacancy - District Lead Volunteer Sleaford

By Howard Nelson • April 24, 2025
Adam Jacklin will be stepping down from his role as District Lead Volunteer for Sleaford District on 4 November 2025. As Adam prepares to step down as District Lead Volunteer for Sleaford this November, I would like to take the opportunity to offer my thanks for the energy, dedication, and leadership he has brought to the role. Adam has been a driving force behind many positive developments within the District, always bringing a thoughtful and steady approach to everything he does. Throughout his term, Adam has consistently put young people at the centre of our work. His collaborative style has helped build strong teams and foster a real sense of community among our volunteers. Whether supporting events, shaping strategy, or mentoring others, Adam has been generous with his time and tireless in his commitment to the values of Scouting. While Adam is stepping back from the DLV role, I know his involvement with the District and County will continue.
