Welcome to WATER Sub-Camp!
Ben Barnes
Sub-Camp Leader
I'm Ben, the sub-camp leader for Water Sub-Camp. You will normally find me Scouting with 4th Denton (St Anne's) as their Scout Leader or assessing a D of E expedition.
Nearly 8 years in scouts following my two children through the sections, one is lucky enough to have been selected to attend the Korean Jamboree 2023.
I've been to numerous Jamborees over the years from Chamboree to Essex, Poacher to Kent with a foreign camp to Guernsey in the middle so I’m hoping my skills will help me here.
I fancied a challenge to make the young people's experience of "Join in Jamboree" the best it can be!!
