Kohoutek History

Kohoutek, Kahoutek, Cahoutek, Cohoutek - one event, many spellings!

Kohoutek was originally held in 1973 by a group of University of Bristol Students, for local Scout Troops and Guide Units, based off a similar event held by Scouts in Cheshire. It was named after Comet Kohoutek, which was first sighted in March of that year. Over the years themes for the event have ranged from Jurassic Park (1997) to Wild West (2020)!

The event aims to provide a fun environment for Scouts and Guides to improve their teamwork and problem solving skills. Teams of five meet to complete a series of themed activity bases over the course of the day, competing for the coveted Kohoutek Trophy.

There was a short hiatus in the event when the University of Bristol Guides and Scouts (UOBGAS) society closed in the early 2000s, but the rebirth of the society saw the event being brought back in 2017. 2019 saw us celebrating the 35th Kohoutek event, with Kohoutek hosting more than 300 young people!
