The idea
You spend your weekends making adventures happen for everyone else. This one is yours.
The Network Getaway is a few days away from everyday life, made for Scotland's Networkers: the members of Scouting aged 18 to 25. A camp for you, not for the young people you usually look after.
Fill your days with everything Auchengillan has, or don't. Then head to the big marquee for the bar, the music and a dress code that is mostly ridiculous.
Welcoming. Lively. Unpressured. A little bit ridiculous.
- Freedom to join in.
- Permission to slow down.
- People to share it with.
Clock off.Head out.
A few days away. Entirely your own.
