It’s A Knockout!
12th July 2026 | Blindman’s Wood Scout Centre
After a long break since 2019, It’s A Knockout is back – and it’s set to be bigger, sillier and more fun than ever.
This high-energy day is open to all sections of Scouts and Girlguiding. Teams of 4–7 players will take on 12 fun, skill-based challenges, competing for points across the day. Each team will also get a joker card to double their score on one game – so tactics matter just as much as teamwork.
Expect a mix of returning favourites and brand new surprises, including water balloon toss, blind jigsaws and bungee ball challenges.
There’s a trophy for the overall winning team, plus medals for 1st and 2nd place in each age group.
