Camp Secret Squirrel IV: Revenge of the Red Squirrels

Coming this Summer: the return of Scottish Socialist Youth’s legendary camping weekend, Camp Secret Squirrel.

From the 6th to 9th of August SSY will be heading to a secret location, somewhere in deepest, darkest Galloway. During the day different workshops will give everyone taking part the chance to discuss and educate each other on the key issues facing the world today, including climate change and the environmental crisis, the war in Afghanistan and the fight for jobs and rights for young workers.

Then on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights several special guest DJs and artists will provide the music for a party that lasts as long as you want to stay awake.

The educational part of the weekend will aim at sharing the experience and knowledge of everyone taking part to equip us in the fight back against shitey bosses, global capitalism and (probably, by then) the Tory government. We’re still making up the final timetable, so if there’s something you want to talk about then get in touch and let us know.

After a two year hiatus, the return of CSS has young socialists everywhere more excited than an SDL supporter watching 24. From 2005-2007 they blew everything else you could possibly do in summer out of the water. For all the details and updates then keep watching this blog, but right now we just want to make sure that everyone knows when it is. Everyone 26 and under who’s interested is welcome, so make sure and tell your friends.

Are you as excited as Christopher Lee about the return of CSS?

So now is the time to make sure you aren’t doing anything from 6-9th August. Tell your parents you’re not going on holiday with them that weekend, tell work you can’t come in, and just cancel everything else. You don’t want to miss it!

    I am very excited about CSS, but find it very hypocritical to attack SDL members on the basis of liking 24

    It’s not an attack so much as an observation. Someone told me one of their members was wearing a Jack Bauer t-shirt on the Glasgow “march”. I love 24 too, but it is a really right wing show, and you can see why it would appeal to Muslim hating nutters.

    For my part, I’m as excited about about CSS as Jack must have been when he got to prove to that awful “civil liberties” senator that torture was like, totally necessary.
