🦡💚 Have you met Bernard Badger?

Waddecar’s resident badger, adventure enthusiast and occasional troublemaker has made his way onto Facebook... and he’d love to be your friend!

🐾 Become friends with Bernard Badger and follow his adventures around Waddecar Scout Activity Centre and beyond.

Expect behind-the-scenes peeks, adventures around the site and plenty of badger-sized nonsense along the way.

If you think your Facebook feed could do with more badger... Bernard would love to hear from you!

🦡 Search for Bernard Badger on Facebook and send him a friend request!

He’s already waiting by the laptop. His paws make typing difficult, so please be patient. 💻🐾

💚 Adventure is better with friends.

🏹🌲 NEW AT WADDECAR: FIELD ARCHERY! 🌲🏹

We’re excited to introduce the latest addition to Waddecar, our brand-new Field Archery Range!

Available for Scouts and Explorers, Field Archery is the perfect progression from standard target archery, giving young people the chance to take their skills to the next level.

🎯 Longer distances
🏹 More challenging shots
🌲 A different style of archery experience
🎯 Greater focus and discipline
💪 A chance to build on existing archery skills

Rather than shooting repeatedly at a single target, Field Archery brings a new challenge, encouraging participants to think about distance, accuracy, technique and consistency as they progress around the range.

For the moment, Field Archery is available as a self-led activity only.

To lead a session, the instructor must have attended one of our Waddecar Field Archery Induction sessions, covering the range layout, operating procedures and how to deliver sessions safely. A current Scout Archery Permit is required to attend an induction.

Already confident with target archery? It might be time to head into the field! 🏹🌲
