Amanda Hampson
Sub-Camp Leader

Hi there, my name is Amanda, I currently volunteer within Ladybrook Valley as District Explorer Scout Commissioner.


My journey in scouting started over 15 years ago when I took my eldest son then aged 7 along to cubs for the very first time, and I’m still attending even though he has long since left scouting.

I have been involved with planning and organising for exciting and amazing trips all over the world, including the 25th World Scout Jamboree, where we took 2 units from GME out to Canada and the United States.

I am very much looking forward to welcoming you all to the
Fire Sub-Camp!
