Scouts from 1st Kings Langley Scout Group met up with 3,000 others from across the UK to welcome in a new year of adventure.
The annual Winter Camp, which was held at Gilwell Park in North East London, the home of scouting and outdoor adventure, provided the opportunity for scouts to take part in over seventy different adventurous and dun activities ranging from abseiling to Zorbing.
The boys and girls, aged between 10 and 18, along with nearly 1,000 adult leaders, slept in tents for two nights, cooked on open fires and enjoyed a packed programme led by a team of 200 adult volunteers.
Chief Scout Bear Grylls said: "Winter Camp provides a whole new adventure experience for young people. The challenge is all about empowering Scouts with the skills to survive challenging conditions and how to keep warm and comfortable in their tents.
"It's great to see so many young people enjoying such a wide range of activities, from climbing, abseiling, quad biking and high ropes. I'm super proud of their enthusiasm and spirit of adventure."
