Welcome to CCY news for Spring of 2024. At Easter, the 72nd FICC Youth Rally was hosted by Great Britain at the Black Isle Showground, Muir of Ord with Sheffield DA CCY Leaders and Yorkshire Region RYLO taking a 19-strong contingent to Scotland, including 5 of Sheffield DA CCY. Joining the UK contingent were youth from Portugal, Holland and Ireland.
Yorkshire Region organises two main Region Youth Rallies which are exclusively for youth members and their leaders. Additionally, the National Youth Rally brings together CCY from across the country. Â Youth rallies are a great opportunity to spend time away from parents in a safe and supervised environment, enjoying games and activities. Â Often there are parent's meets organised in the vicinity of the youth rally.
There really is a packed programme of youth events for our CCY this year, so if you have a child 12-17 and they want to get involved with the Camping Club Youth, have a chat with the youth leaders or drop us a line via the contact form on the website. Â All Youth Leaders and Testers are subject to enhanced D.B.S. checks and safeguarding training.

As a footnote, a request from the RYLO: if you are attending the Yorkshire Region Meet with a CCY member (or even if you don't), please can you bring along a bottle (of anything) for a wheelbarrow raffle, and/or donate cakes for the CCY cake stall. Â These are for a great cause because the proceeds contribute towards the subsidies that the CCY receive from the region.
