ScoutsCymru is delighted to announce two exciting events for the summer of 2025, with both going on sale next week.
All Wales Cub Fun Day returns to the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells on Saturday 7 June for a day of adventure, activity, fun and friendship for Cubs.
Plus, new for 2025, is Awesome ‘25, an action-packed weekend for Explorers filled with adrenaline-fuelled adventures in the Glan Usk Estate in the Bannau Brycheiniog from Friday 27 to Sunday 29 June.
2025 will see ScoutsCymru (formerly the Welsh Scouts Council) celebrating 100 years of Welsh adventure. We are thrilled to be hosting Cub Fun Day and Awesome ‘25 in our centenary year, bringing young people and volunteers from across Wales together for a true celebration of Scouting in Wales.
Bookings for All Wales Cub Fun Day open on Saturday 18 January at 12pm.
Bookings for Awesome ’25 open on Sunday 19 January at 12pm.
We will send an email reminder to leaders closer to the time with the booking links or you can access them on the relevant event Facebook pages. Both events can only be booked by leaders on behalf of their group; they are not open to individual Cubs/Explorers and families.
Both All Wales Cub Fun Day and Awesome ’25 have been organised entirely by volunteers and we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in putting together such incredible experiences for our young people. However, for the events to be as successful as possible, we need more volunteers to help on the day/weekend with everything from supporting the activity stations and driving mini buses to making the tea and coffee and helping clear up after the events.
Email us on admin@scoutscymru.org.uk to find out how you can help.

Cub Fun Day will see 1,400 eight to 10½ year olds and their leaders from across Wales gather for a day of adventure, activity, fun and friendship. Cubs will experience everything from inflatable games and obstacles, climbing, crate skating and archery, to making Welsh cakes and popcorn, with lots more fun-filled activities yet to be announced. All the activities have been designed with the Cubs Challenge Awards and other badges in mind, so Cubs will get to tick off some of those all-important badge requirements over the weekend.
We’re also looking for a number of Explorers to be a part of our volunteer Explorer Service Team to help support on the day. You’ll be able to book via the same booking page.

Awesome is going to be, well, awesome! We’ve put together an action-packed weekend full of adventure, activity, fun and friendship, making the most of the beautiful landscape of the Bannau Brycheniniog. The weekend will be full of exciting activities for Explorers, including abseiling and rock climbing, underground caving, forest mountain biking, canoeing, archery and axe throwing, as Explorers try new things and make new friends from across Wales.
