HUNDREDS of Scouts converged on Durham at the weekend for the 33rd Confido Camp.
Durham Scout County's annual event at its activity centre at Moor House, Rainton Gate, attracted youngsters aged 11 to 18 from as far away as Amble and Barnard Castle.
They took part in activities such as canoeing, kayaking, climbing, crate stacking, abseiling, rodeo bull riding and tree climbing.
There were also bagpipe workshops, a music stage and arts and crafts. More than 600 scouts, explorer scouts and girl guides attended.
The scouting movement has recently undergone a makeover to give it a more modern image.
