Prepare for lift-off!

We’re super excited that today, Quest 9 is launching, and we can tell the universe about what we’re planning! (PS: It’s space themed – you’ll see why we’re telling you this up front).

As a member of the District Leadership Team, we’d really appreciate if you could share this news with your Groups and Teams – you can forward this email on to other volunteers, and we’ve even provided a template email and social media slide for sharing the news with young people and their families.

Find out more about Quest 9

When

Quest 9 will take place from Friday 30 April to Monday 3 May 2027. Check out the information at mallingscouts.org.uk/quest for more information about the dates for different Sections.

Where

We’re super excited that Quest 9 will be held at Downe Activity Centre! Following feedback from every Group in the District, we’ve been working hard to choose a site that gives Quest 9 great potential, and a true Quest feeling. Find out more about Downe Activity Centre, why we chose it, and what we’re planning to offer at Quest 9 at mallingscouts.org.uk/quest.

What’s next

Our next District Leadership Team Meeting is on Tuesday 25 November, where we’ll talk more about Quest, and will be able to answer any questions you or your teams have. Please invite someone else from your Group to join you at this meeting – they’ll be your Group’s Flight Commander (or Group Contact, to use the language we used last time), and it’s their mission to help us and you to make sure your Group has everything they need for your trip to Quest.

In the meantime, please spread the word, get people to save the date, and we’ll speak to you later this month.

If you have any bubbling questions, please do let us know – quest[at]mallingscouts.org.uk is where we’re receiving messages, so drop us an email and we’ll do our best to help.

Over and out,

Quest 9 Team
