A minibus full of Scottish Woodcraft Folk headed to our UK wide gathering, Folk Assembly, to share skills, experiences and help decide the future direction of our movement.  Eight of the delegation were aged between 10-15 and many had never taken part in a national event. 

Between 2017 and 2020, Woodcraft Folk is working to open 18 new groups for young people aged from 10 to 20 years old across East Anglia. Get in touch to find out more!
