For Units
The first day for participants is Friday 30th July. The site will open in the morning for groups to pitch tents and set up, but the first of the planned activities will be the opening ceremony on the Friday evening. The last day of activities is Monday 2nd August and the closing ceremony will be in the evening, groups are free to leave anytime from 9am on Tuesday 3rd August.
ORIGIN is specifically for Cub and Brownie sections. Attendance will be open to groups across the UK and internationally, but we expect the majority to come from the South West. Participants must be within the age range for their respective section at the time of the event.
Yes, young leaders over the age of 14 can attend with their group as part of the leadership team, or they can apply to join the ORIGIN Crew and support the programme delivery, logistics, entertainment and welfare.
For Cub and Brownie units, the participant fee (£225 for a Cub or Brownie, £60 for a leader/young leader) covers all activities and evening entertainment, a free issue T shirt, Scarf and event badges.
It does not cover any transport for getting to and from the event or any catering. You will need to factor this into the cost you charge your young people.
We are still planning the full programme but we know that you will get three full days of activities. Each day you will visit a different ‘zone’.
The Energise zone will include archery, pedal karts, climbing, onsite water activities, high energy physical challenges, team games and many more adventurous activities.
The Impact zone will get your creative juices flowing and help you learn more about the word around us. Activities include circus skills, music and rhythm workshops, crafts and activities from external organisations and charities.
Into The Woods is our more traditional zone including fire lighting, backwoods cooking, shelter building, nature activities.
There will also be an evening entertainment programme that will include discos, campfires, bingo, holiday park style competitions and entertainment plus much more.
The whole event is based on Stithians Showground in Cornwall, near Truro. We will use the fields surrounding the main arenas and barn. You will be allocated to a subcamp and have a dedicated subcamp leader as your first point of contact. Each subcamp will have access to toilets, showers, water, rubbish and recycling facilities.
You can register your interest now.
Sign your group up by registering on our booking system – you will be able to enter your approximate numbers.
Then when our booking system opens fully, if you use Online Scout manager (OSM) you will be able to link your OSM event. This will mean your adult and young people details will automatically transfer across to us. If you don’t you use OSM you will be able to manually enter the names and details of people coming.
We recommend registering your interest and adding people as soon as you can as we will close bookings once we hit capacity.
Yes, after you’ve made your initial booking, you will be able to add to your numbers until we reach capacity. If you have a linked OSM event, it will automatically update for you as more people sign up.
We will ask you to pay a 25% deposit of your total booking by 11th December. An additional 50% of your total booking will then be payable in March 2027, and the remaining balance in June 2027.

Yes, we will do our best to accommodate everyone and provide an event that is suitable, appropriate and safe for everyone. We will ask you for more information about any specific needs and we will do our best to meet them within the scope of the venue, activities and what is reasonable.
No, we won’t be able to have kit dropped off early as we will be busy right up to the Friday morning preparing the site for your arrival.
When you do arrive if you are towing a trailer or carrying kit you will be directed to a drop off point. We will either tow the trailer to your pitch for you, or load your kit into one of our vehicles and take it to your pitch for you.
There will be no vehicles other than our site vehicles accessing the camping pitches.
Yes, you will need to provide your own kitchen equipment, tents, tables and chairs. There will not be any mains electricity supplied to individual sites, so any cooking equipment will need to be gas. We will not allow any fires/naked flame cooking equipment on the subcamps, and petrol generators are not allowed on site.
There are many supermarkets in the local area. If you have your own transport on site you will be able to leave and go shopping, or you can arrange to have supermarket deliveries to the site.
We will also have a small shop on site selling essential supplies (bread, milk, washing up liquid etc).
We can’t provide fridges and freezers for groups to store food in, but we will provide shared freezers to allow ice blocks to be chilled down.
Ideally a leader within your pack will have a Nights Away Permit/Going Away License, but if that isn’t the case you can still come to ORIGIN. You will need to contact us. We may be able to help you identify a permit/license holder, or provide someone from the ORIGIN crew to act for you.
