Hundreds of Scouts from the Oxford Spires district braved the wet Bank Holiday weekend weather to camp for three nights under canvas.

Nearly 600 young people aged six to 18 took part in a range of activities at the Horley site, near Banbury.

More than 150 camps to celebrate the centenary of Scouting were held across the British Isles.

Val Butcher, district commissioner of Oxford Spires, said: "We've been planning this weekend for ages. One of the best things about being a Scout is trying out lots of new activities with all your mates."

The weekend is the only time in the centenary year when Scouts in every part of the UK have taken part in camping events at the same time.
