This is a simple calendar used to record District and Group events. It is open to all to read, but users need to be logged on to make entries.

A 'READ-ONLY' version, suitable for Google Calendar, Apple iCal and other compatible applications, is also available by subscribing to 'https://www.saffronwaldenscouts.org.uk/EVENTS_ICS_FILE'

Navigation is performed by clicking one of the five buttons underneath the 'Plugin version' in the top left of the Calendar. The buttons move the calendar backwards and forwards in time by an amount depending on the view selected (underneath the 'User Guide' button on the right).

  • Month view: '<' and '>' move the calendar 1 month, '<<' and '>>' 1 year
  • Week view:   '<' and '>' move the calendar 1 week,   '<<' and '>>' 1 month
  • Day view:      '<' and '>' move the calendar 1 day,     '<<' and '>>' 1 week
