Big Cardboard Sleepout For Porchlight 2026

Big Sleepout For Porchlight 2026

Building upon the success of our previous Big Cardboard Sleepouts For Porchlight in 2018 and 2022 once again Kent Scouts will be working as a County in 2026 to have the Biggest Cardboard Sleepout ever. Let's break some records for Scouts sleeping out, have fun and raise some money for Porchlight!

With the focus on October and specifically World Homeless Day Saturday 10 October 2026 (but not limited to that day!) sleep-outs will be happening all over Kent throughout the year. We are encouraging Districts, Groups, Sections and Individuals to participate.
