Step into Strike, where precision, control, and focus take centre stage. Inspired by the snake, fast, accurate, and calculated, this zone is all about lining up your shot and hitting the mark.
Whether it’s your first time picking up a bow or you’re refining your aim, Strike offers a mix of traditional and modern target sports. It’s about concentration, technique, and the satisfaction of getting it just right.
We’re teaming up with Chester Zoo

Participants will take part in a range of target-based activities including Air Rifles, Archery, Crossbows, and Catapults, each offering a different way to test accuracy and control.
There are also fast-paced, interactive experiences such as Laser Tag and Paintball Tomb, alongside the chance to try Axe Throwing and Inflatable Axe Throwing. For something completely different, participants can take control of Hovercrafts, adding a unique challenge that combines skill, coordination, and control.
The programme has been designed around the core participant cohort (Scouts/Guides). The following adjustments have been made to adapt the programme zone for a different audience.
| Section | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Beavers / Rainbows | TBC |
| Cubs / Brownies | TBC |
| Explorers / Rangers | TBC |
The Strike Zone is a more structured environment, with many activities being instructor-led and operating within clearly defined ranges or areas. Participants will often take part in activities in smaller groups, with a focus on safety, control, and progression.
Leaders should expect a steadier pace compared to other zones, with more time spent within individual activities.
NOTE(s)
Comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activity, along with sturdy trainers or closed-toe footwear.
A refillable water bottle is strongly recommended, along with a willingness to get involved and try something new.
Leaders are required to accompany participants to zones and remain available to support if needed. While older sections may explore more independently, your presence is still important for safety and support.
We recognise there will be periods where your focus is fully on managing and supporting your group, particularly during transitions and busier times. There will also be opportunities where participants are fully engaged in activities, giving you the chance to step in, support delivery, or even get involved yourself.
To ensure all activities can operate at full capacity, leaders are asked to support zone delivery during these periods. This helps maintain a smooth experience for all participants and gives you the chance to be part of the action.
