SCOGUI provides members with the opportunity to have a go at everything and anything with an impetus of fun and adventure that envelopes everything that we do.\u00a0 As one of the longest-running university societies, SCOGUI has a rich history not only within the student body but of volunteering within the local community that often opens doors to allow us to do some pretty amazing things!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1315 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill-e1474273517703.jpg\" alt=\"Beacon Hill\" width=\"3648\" height=\"2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill-e1474273517703.jpg 3648w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill-e1474273517703-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill-e1474273517703-768x440.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill-e1474273517703-1024x586.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill-e1474273517703-370x212.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Beacon-Hill-e1474273517703-770x441.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3648px) 100vw, 3648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>What sorts of events are put on by the society?<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to describe exactly what SCOGUI does because we have a go at almost everything, but in short, we love to have fun, go on adventures and are always challenging ourselves to try new things. Last year for instance we had a go at Morris dancing, visited an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.explosion.org.uk\/\">Explosion!\u00a0museum<\/a>, made musical instruments out of humble vegetables, went bouldering and hundreds more besides!<\/p>\n<p>SCOGUI prides itself in offering an opportunity to have a go at just about everything, offering you the opportunity to get involved in:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Weekly meetings\/activities on Tuesday evenings<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Four camping trips per year (October, May, June and August)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Three SSAGO camps per year (SSAGO is the Student Scout and Guide Organisation) and one SSAGO ball<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Plus various other socials throughout the year!<\/p>\n<p>Last year SCOGUI racked up just over 1000 hours of volunteering within the local community and was lucky enough to be recognised in the Chief Operating Officer\u2019s awards because of this. SCOGUI has been around since 1953 and is now more than just a society, it\u2019s a community icon with a reputation for unrivalled fun and enjoyment \u2013 not only to members but for others as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Freshers-camp-2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1316 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Freshers-camp-2015-e1474273564125.jpg\" alt=\"Freshers camp 2015\" width=\"960\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Freshers-camp-2015-e1474273564125.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Freshers-camp-2015-e1474273564125-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Freshers-camp-2015-e1474273564125-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Freshers-camp-2015-e1474273564125-370x181.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Freshers-camp-2015-e1474273564125-770x377.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Why, when and how did you join?<\/h4>\n<p>Now I\u2019m not sure whether I should really be using the word join \u2013 coerced may be more appropriate &#8211;\u00a0 however I found the SCOGUI chair on the Freshers\u2019 hike up the Beacon Hill.

Whilst other members of the society might highlight micro-lighting, building rope bridges or even dressing up to sell programmes at an historic car festival; the event that epitomises SCOGUI for me would have to be our Christmas Secret Santa when one member in particular received an entire week\u2019s worth of shopping within the \u00a35 budget that was allowed. The sense of elation exhibited personifies the feeling that SCOGUI could give to anyone as it really is just like one big family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/dino-rally-and-summer-camp-269.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1319 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/dino-rally-and-summer-camp-269.jpg\" alt=\"dino rally and summer camp 269\" width=\"854\" height=\"641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/dino-rally-and-summer-camp-269.jpg 854w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/dino-rally-and-summer-camp-269-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/dino-rally-and-summer-camp-269-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/dino-rally-and-summer-camp-269-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/dino-rally-and-summer-camp-269-770x578.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Describe your society in three words!<\/h4>\n<p>Hilarious, Kinship, Diverse<\/p>\n<h4>Last word \u2013 what would you say to someone thinking of joining up?<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re in any doubt about what society you should be joining, then hopefully we\u2019ve made it clear that you should definitely join SCOGUI.
