Frequently asked questions

Who will supervise the uniformed groups?

In terms of Kingswood staff, a responsible adult will always be present with each group, including a qualified instructor where appropriate.

Why book a residential trip for your uniformed group?

Team building, life skills and fun underpin any uniformed group, which marry up perfectly with the ambition of our residential activity trips.

Can my uniformed group work towards badges on their trip?

Yes. Just let us know what your group is working towards, and we can tailor activities to ensure those badges get earned.

Can I request specific accommodation for our uniformed group?

If you’d like a specific accommodation block for your uniformed group to stay in, express your preference at the point of booking. Please note that your first choice may not always be possible, particularly during busy seasons.

Funding & Support

We believe that outdoor adventure is for everyone - and that every young person should have the chance to experience a transformative residential trip. You can make an application to the Hardship Fund for Kingswood to fully fund up to 2 in 10 young people from your group to attend where their trip is at risk due to financial difficulties.
