NCS with you and Ward was HONESTLY the best experience of my life Jade, everytime I see or remember ncs I just think of all the amazing times we had together. We all need to meet up in the holidays asap😫
Nicole Rose one thing I would say is not over pack I over packed You honestly need the essentials and make sure you have flip flops and shoes you don't mind getting dirty/wet Otherwise just pack some tops swimming kit joggers hoodies 2 pairs of shoes to do activity in Some shoes/slippers to wear around the accommodation Snacks Change (in case no service so you have to use a pay phone) Towel and all that-comb cream etc
Thankyou very much for an informative video. My daughter starts her NCS experience next Monday and as a curious mum it was great to see the sort of activities she will get up too. Your own experience gave me some hope and reasurance that if she comes back smiling and as enthusiastic as you, her Summer break will have been well spent.😊
this is the loveliest comment!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 💛 can't help but feel like I ramble on a lot, so thank you for this, truly! lots of love my friend x x
I’m doing mine at the moment, and we’re doing a portable sensory garden at the children’s hospital next week. My group are all best friends and most of us have only known each other for 2 weeks. They forgot that my friend was dairy intolerant and didn’t have anything she could eat either, and she went home early because they gave her pasta with dairy in it. They were very supportive though, as they tried with what organisation they had, especially when my anxiety flared up in the middle of the week the leaders were so supportive. We were allowed in each other’s room but not different buildings (there were about 20 per building), but my best friend snuck into my building one night and one of the leaders knew and just let her.
Hi Jade, So as a very introverted person myself, I would absolutely love it if you could give me any tips on being comfortable whilst at NCS and how to approach and communicate with new people. Also, I'm quite specific with being prepared for things so if you could explain what type of things to pack (especially what outfits you wore), that would be very much appreciated. 😊 (sorry if it's too much to ask!)
Jowita Dudzik I went on ncs last week (phase 1)- I'm pretty introverted and honestly often I really didn't know what to say to people, but you're pretty much forced to make friends. The extroverted people in your group will come up and talk to you if you don't. This was something I was worried about but wow it was so easy to make friends even if you have nothing in common, don't stress about it.
Hi I think I know you a bit unless you have the same name as someone else (wouldn't have seen you for years though)! If you're who I think you are I'm going next week so I'll talk to you if you are!x
Everyone's NCS experience will be different and your team will never make you do something you're uncomfortable with! A guy on our team was terrified of heights and we all encouraged him to try climbing, he got on the wall and decided he didn't want to but we all were there for him and understood, honestly you'll meet some amazing understanding people at NCS who'll feel just like you
This looks fun and nerve wracking at the same time! I’m really thinking hard whether I want to go in Year 11 or in sixth form. I’m so shy, but thank you for this! This has helped me learn a bit more of how it’ll be like at NCS. Btw are there Year 11s and 12s in the same groups? x
Clare N I’m doing it this year, you should definitely do it, I’m sure that you’ll be great! Everyone is going to be nervous and I’m sure that you’ll make friends in no time :)
@@lunaalexandra_ it will cost 50 pounds tbh because I'm going this year as well after my GCSE's andddd if u do go. I rly recommend you should bruh it'll be so much fun like I'm just so excited already to go to the NCS. Hope you enjoy.
I’ve Been looking into ncs and wanting to know more info then I am recommend this video from one of my favourite youtubers ever! I didn’t even see this video!!
UnJaded Jade lol and dont mind my name. My sister changed it and now it cant be changed for another 90 days, according to Google. (You might remember me, Cookie Monster!)
Kinda dreading it tbh, thought ours was sort of like a pgl thing but turns out it's literal camping so I won't have my phone or music or anything the whole time
i’m so late to watching this, but it just made me so excited to go to NCS! It’s lovely hearing people so excited and passionate about something like this, it makes me very nostalgic for school trips in primary school or things that just make me very happy!! Anyway, thank you for making this video, it definitely reassured me that NCS will be a good decision :)
I'm leaving for NCS tomorrow and I'm terrified and this has made me feel so much better cause im terrible off getting out off my comfort zone and it scares me to do so and I'm quite a shy person and was scared about being with others i don't know and i feel so much better now 💜
@@cookiee._ honestly the best advice I can give is just go for it. Every place is different but I managed to conquer things I never thought I would be able to and then go back and do them again in the future. As silly as it sounds just be yourself and have fun and I can promise you if you just allow yourself to have fun it will be the best weeks of your life. I went in 2019 and I still talk about it now. Anything you wanted to know I'm particular just let me know :)
I was in the same wave as you! If you're not an extrovert it's really hard and you will get tired and not enjoy bits of it. I was so so so glad when the 3 weeks were over but glad I did it because it was an experience and great for my CV. Overall as an introvert I would never do it again and didn't enjoy anywhere near as much as you Jade but I would recommend doing it to anyone considering because you feel quite fulfilled and proud of yourself once you've finished.
I'm in middle of phase 1 in NCS. I came in really optimistic yet nervous, because I'm not a very sociable person but I'd like to get better. There are so many confident, outgoing people here who get on with everyone, are really funny and work great as a team, but I'm finding it really hard. I don't know how people like you Jade are able to go in knowing nobody, easily have conversations and end up being everyone's friend so quickly. I really admire their confidence but I just can't TALK to them. I feel like I always let the team down and that the few friends I made here initially are starting to loose interest in hanging out with me. I'm trying so hard to stay positive and make every moment worthwhile but it's difficult. I want this NCS experience to change me for the better, make me better at communication, being myself around new people without being awkward and able to be a good team member. Almost everyone else already is like that, so they've quickly formed their 'clique' that I feel is too late for me to be a part of. Plus there was a girl in my room who was had autism and a mental illness. It was difficult working with her but I really wanted to talk to her, understand her, make her feel welcome, but I feel like I didn't do enough and she still ended up having to go home early because she was too upset. When I watch videos about NCS like this one everyone says it was amazing from beginning to end, but this has been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. Not gonna lie there were a few tears. I just really wish I always knew what to do and what to say. Sorry for the long emotional comment for anyone who even read this far. I just needed to vent. Sitting outside on my own while everyone is eating dinner as I write this lol.
Please please please do another video about NCS such as how you managed your time around summer, what you did on the weekends when you weren’t there and where there any awkward moments etc? I’m quite a shy person and I’m doing NCS this summer I’m really nervous so another video would be great! X
This really helped me understand more of whats happening in NCS thanks you so much! I'm practically in the same position as you were, I'm on the waiting list and it starts on the 2nd of july and NCS in sandwiched in between DofE and my holiday!!
Awhh thank you so much Eden!! I literally procrastinate making this video for SO long because there were too many little things I didn't want to forget! Literally felt like I was reliving it all haha 💗 I hope you're well x x
I find you a very inspirational person. once I watch ur videos i feel inspired to change how I go about doing things in life and organising my work and experience new things.
this really made me excited for ncs, and i just finished it 2 days ago and honestly it was one of the best experiences ever, and even if you are shy like me you will make friends! though things do depend on luck a lot. i did it with a friend and everyone in her group was so nice and her senior mentor was such a legend, she bought them pizza and is going to take them to thorpe park as a reunion. i only made one good friend in my group and my senior mentor just stuck to the rules and didnt really get involved. that was all fine apart from the fact that we literally did everything in our groups and i got into trouble a few times for joining the other group when i got bored of everyone in my group sitting on their phones lmao. but i would 100% reccomend it, i wasnt bored once during those 3 weeks!!
I loved this video! it genuinely looks like you've had the time of your life there, that's amazing!! I wish we had that where I live! lots of love my friend!! 💗
Before watching this video I had no clue what to expect and was getting worried even though I'm not that shy, thank you so much for the advice and I cannot wait!!!
I was just about to sign up for NCS but then it told me it was only available for people in England and Northern Ireland! My poor Welsh soul is sad 😭 P.s. Glad you liked Wales, Jade 😆
@@laurenaaa8719 at first it was all abut confusing but it gets better, you become friends with everyone in your group and dorm and stuff :) but yeah it can seem a bit unorganised at the beginning haha. Lmao don't forget bug spray
Awe, love you lots I'm so glad you made a video about this (although I was cringing watching us dance) xx I miss it so so so much, and we had the best group ever! It was probably one of the best experiences of my life and is genuinely life-changing! It really did improve my confidence so much and gave me some of my best memories!! I 100% recommend it to everyone, because it is just one of the best experiences ever!!
I love you so so much Jack!! There's no one better I could have met 💛 hahaha yeah the dancing was equally painful for me to watch 😬 we truly were so lucky with our group and I feel like my confidence really flourished too! So glad we did it mate x x x
Hey jade I'm doing NCS this year and your video has made me even more excited!! I can't wait to do it thanks so much for sharing ur amazing experience 😃❤
I did NCS two years ago now and it sounds like it's gotten so much better, we didn't get to choose any kind of like topic for our groups they were just random, and our second week was advertised as uni halls but we actually stayed at a scout camp, which was a building with one small sort of sports hall like room, a tiny kitchen and a 3 boys toilets and one girls toilet. The whole team had to sleep in the one room in tents because we weren't technically allowed to share a room🙄 We also didn't have any showers so only got to shower when we went out to sports centres which was twice during the week🙃 I loved it, it was a great time, but not what they told us it was gonna be...
I'm quite worried as I don't know anybody on my trip but they all seem to know each other from their schools already! I don't know if I'll just be spending the week alone without any friends!!
Honestly even if people know each other, just try to be utterly open minded and smile lots! Everyone is there to make friends and I'm sure you'll have an amazing time! 💛 good luck my friend x x
Oh my god YASS!! Well done! That's truly such an achievement 💛 hmm I'd say be clear about all your role responsibilities for the beginning so that you can get organised straight away! Good luck my friend x x
ooh..Jade..this really makes me so much want to go to NCS...but I am now 17 and this may mean there is no chance for me except this year...but unfortunately I am not living in Uk.... However, It's such an amazing thing to be there!!... so exciting experience!!😍😍
Hi jade,great video!! Could you maybe do a video on how you fit all these things in while trying to study for a levels because this all just scares me there is so much you need to do and it's all a bit overwhelming. How did you get involved in university days and different opportunity like zoo academy etc? Your so inspiring lots of love 💕💕
Loved the video, it was so helpful as I'm doing NCS at the end of the month. Could you do a video on what to pack and the essentials for the first 2 weeks? 💜
Before I watched this video I was adamant about not even giving a thought, but nevertheless by friends said they would go after exams next year so when I saw this video I thought I'll watch it anyway. I did outward bound last month in the Lake District and I HATED it, but I got through it, didn't I? Although it was a tough week I learned something about myself, I am capable of so much more than I restrict myself to. I'm considering going, and not because my friends are because they would pick a whole different skill to me and I'm kinda open to making new friends. I think if I can walk up some hill in Ullswater and make it through and look back it now more maturely and without spite, i can look at NCS differently. So thanks Jade for really opening my mind!
i’m a very very shy person, and not very good at making conversation… do you have any advice on how to make friends? (ps lovely video as usual, Jade :)) you're so pretty and have such a nice voice too :)) 💛
I'll see what I can do!! The first week no one honestly cares what you wear - definitely more outdoorsy clothes! The second week I wore nicer casual clothes. I also recommend bringing soap on Week 2 as our uni accommodation didn't have it! Hope this helps 💫 x
In around 3 and a bit months I'm going to NCS- So this really helped to calm me down. Thanks :) I'm going in August with a friend but I'm a bit of a weirdo so I'm just hoping for the best.
ha I did NCS last year and had no idea it was such a big deal, just thought it was a summer camp, loved it, didn't know youtubers and stuff were involved
So it's the Sunday before I begin NCS and this video is turning all my nerves into excitement like I was both, they were 50:50 but now it's like 90% excitement and I'm like YES thank you for this video
its gonna sound completely creepy but im 3 min into your video and i can see Lady Midnight in the background on your shelf and i had a mini heart attack because i LOVE that series
I LOVED this video! I really want to do NCS next year, if there is such thing in Spain...really hope there is, btw love your videos they're very inspiring!!
Hey jade! NCS Sound absolutely amazing! I watched this whole video even though I don't live in England. I was wondering if Americans can do this, or if there are any similar programs like this in America.
We LOVE this! Thanks so much for sharing! We've added it to our 'What happens on #NCS?' playlist
nobody wants to do it.
@@Bruceboot pleaseee 💀 why
It is terrible
NCS -NonCopyrightSounds 🤣
@@Alex-jx8ev have you been?
NCS with you and Ward was HONESTLY the best experience of my life Jade, everytime I see or remember ncs I just think of all the amazing times we had together. We all need to meet up in the holidays asap😫
ME TOO HRITIK!! Reliving all the memories made me so sad and so happy at the same time ;( we need a reunion. Definitely. x
"You can go eat the grass outside" I'm dying! I've lost count of how many times I've heard that! xx
hahaha THANK YOU! 😂 you just have to learn to laugh it off hey! lots of love x x
Why did I get a sense of luuuv between Jade and that dude😂☺️
IKR I thought they were dating lol
It’s jack
ahhh this sounds amazing but also aBSOLUTELY TERRIFYING
Can you do a what to pack video please? This video was amazing, I'm starting mine in 2 weeks, I'm so excited now! Xx
I'll see what i can do!! I'm so glad it helped 🦋 I hope you have an amazing time x x
Nicole Rose
one thing I would say is not over pack
I over packed
You honestly need the essentials and make sure you have flip flops and shoes you don't mind getting dirty/wet
Otherwise just pack some tops swimming kit joggers hoodies 2 pairs of shoes to do activity in
Some shoes/slippers to wear around the accommodation
Snacks
Change (in case no service so you have to use a pay phone)
Towel and all that-comb cream etc
Nicole Rose I'm guessing you have already done NCS how did you find it
that would be so helpful
Thankyou very much for an informative video.
My daughter starts her NCS experience next Monday and as a curious mum it was great to see the sort of activities she will get up too.
Your own experience gave me some hope and reasurance that if she comes back smiling and as enthusiastic as you, her Summer break will have been well spent.😊

They need to get together

It was probably one of the best experiences of my life and is genuinely life-changing! It really did improve my confidence so much and gave me some of my best memories!! I 100% recommend it to everyone, because it is just one of the best experiences ever!!
I love you so so much Jack!! There's no one better I could have met 💛 hahaha yeah the dancing was equally painful for me to watch 😬 we truly were so lucky with our group and I feel like my confidence really flourished too! So glad we did it mate x x x
I just finished my NCS and it was the best thing I have ever done in my life, would totaly recommend it :)
Did anyone shag on it?
Hey jade I'm doing NCS this year and your video has made me even more excited!! I can't wait to do it thanks so much for sharing ur amazing experience 😃❤
I did NCS two years ago now and it sounds like it's gotten so much better, we didn't get to choose any kind of like topic for our groups they were just random, and our second week was advertised as uni halls but we actually stayed at a scout camp, which was a building with one small sort of sports hall like room, a tiny kitchen and a 3 boys toilets and one girls toilet. The whole team had to sleep in the one room in tents because we weren't technically allowed to share a room🙄
We also didn't have any showers so only got to shower when we went out to sports centres which was twice during the week🙃
I loved it, it was a great time, but not what they told us it was gonna be...
this just sounds perfect to me
what you did at the old carers home was actually so amazing, it was so thoughtful, i love the idea
lovely video Jade❤️ You always motivate me and inspire so much💖
I'm on my 4th week currently and I'm editing week 1 to 3 now. Can't wait to upload the video, I really enjoyed yours!
Your ncs sounds so much better than mine was 😂😂😭
Loved this video Jade (as always!) Anyone else wishing that they signed up for this now?!
I'm quite worried as I don't know anybody on my trip but they all seem to know each other from their schools already! I don't know if I'll just be spending the week alone without any friends!!
Honestly even if people know each other, just try to be utterly open minded and smile lots! Everyone is there to make friends and I'm sure you'll have an amazing time! 💛 good luck my friend x x
I really can't wait for my NCS. I go on 13th of July and this has made me so hyped for it!
where is your meeting point?
I wake up the same time as you! Its works!!
Amber Frizzell same!
No way!! so glad 💛 it really does change your perspective i think x x
Amber Frizzell yayyy
I’m sooo excited for NCS 2018!!!!😜☺️😩
Thank you so much for making this video! It was amazing and so helpful!
When you said Pembrokeshire my heart sank hahha!! I've never heard anyone talk about where i live! It's a beautiful place ❤
Ah Jade this was so good 💕 I just got made head girl (what?! 😅) yesterday and I know you are too, I was wondering if you have any advice/tips? 😬💗💗
Oh my god YASS!! Well done! That's truly such an achievement 💛 hmm I'd say be clear about all your role responsibilities for the beginning so that you can get organised straight away! Good luck my friend x x
UnJaded Jade Aw thank you so much!! 💜
Tabi Brewster congratulations!! So am I💃 Head girls unite💪💕
Kay aw thank you and well done to you too! 💕
I know this was a year ago but I'm applying this year, have you got any tips xx
I've only just come across your videos / channel but this video has made me so excited for ncs I start on Monday so can't wait to begin
ooh..Jade..this really makes me so much want to go to NCS...but I am now 17 and this may mean there is no chance for me except this year...but unfortunately I am not living in Uk....
However, It's such an amazing thing to be there!!...
so exciting experience!!😍😍
Hi jade,great video!! Could you maybe do a video on how you fit all these things in while trying to study for a levels because this all just scares me there is so much you need to do and it's all a bit overwhelming. How did you get involved in university days and different opportunity like zoo academy etc? Your so inspiring lots of love 💕💕
Your ncs experience was so much better than mine, I felt like I was lied to.
thanks for this video Jade!! i'm really going to sign up for NCS for next summer! thank you x
Loved the video, it was so helpful as I'm doing NCS at the end of the month. Could you do a video on what to pack and the essentials for the first 2 weeks? 💜
Such a nice video, Jade, I'm loving your channel! 💕 I'd love to see some general sixth form advice from you :) also would you recommend DoE??
Wow this is such a stark contrast to NCS Leicester, we went to the Isle of Wight, where there were cabins.
Before I watched this video I was adamant about not even giving a thought, but nevertheless by friends said they would go after exams next year so when I saw this video I thought I'll watch it anyway. I did outward bound last month in the Lake District and I HATED it, but I got through it, didn't I? Although it was a tough week I learned something about myself, I am capable of so much more than I restrict myself to. I'm considering going, and not because my friends are because they would pick a whole different skill to me and I'm kinda open to making new friends. I think if I can walk up some hill in Ullswater and make it through and look back it now more maturely and without spite, i can look at NCS differently. So thanks Jade for really opening my mind!
i’m a very very shy person, and not very good at making conversation… do you have any advice on how to make friends? (ps lovely video as usual, Jade :)) you're so pretty and have such a nice voice too :)) 💛
Doing NCS this year!! So excited!!
Same!
What date
thank you so much, I'm going on the 18th and I was highly reconsidering. but this made me feel so much better!
Lmao this defo helped as im starting NCS this monday!! A lot less nervous now, thanks Jade
Pembrokeshire is so beautiful! I live in Carmarthenshire and I love it there!!
I'm going on NCS this August. I'm so excited but nervous about making friends !
WHENNNNNN
August 9th
laur bieber Xx I'M GOING ON AUGUST 9TH OMG
Where are you going to / where from ?
I always stress out about what to take with me so it would be really helpful if you did a what to pack video!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll see what I can do!! The first week no one honestly cares what you wear - definitely more outdoorsy clothes! The second week I wore nicer casual clothes. I also recommend bringing soap on Week 2 as our uni accommodation didn't have it! Hope this helps 💫 x
In around 3 and a bit months I'm going to NCS- So this really helped to calm me down. Thanks :) I'm going in August with a friend but I'm a bit of a weirdo so I'm just hoping for the best.
thank you for this! i am doing ncs this year so this was super helpful!
Thank You Jade! I'm so excited for ncs!
Wow this video actually gave me an honest insight into NCS. Can’t wait to go now! 🙃
I'm currently in week 3 of NCS and it's the best thing I've ever done!
Hi Jade, you made NCS sound so amazing and it looks absolutely amazing!, however if I'm not from the UK can I still participate? Thanks a lot
Francesca Despott no
But if you apply with your friends won't you be with them in the same team???
ha I did NCS last year and had no idea it was such a big deal, just thought it was a summer camp, loved it, didn't know youtubers and stuff were involved
hahaha this isn't sponsored or anything!! I did it before I even had UA-cam 💗 I just really enjoyed my own experience x x
I just finished the shorter version of NCS and damn it was amazing, just graduation left. AND OMG JADE I WAS IN TEAM WARD AS WELL!✌️
Honestly some of the best memories I have are from PGL centres. Went there 2 years on the trot in school
So it's the Sunday before I begin NCS and this video is turning all my nerves into excitement like I was both, they were 50:50 but now it's like 90% excitement and I'm like YES thank you for this video
its gonna sound completely creepy but im 3 min into your video and i can see Lady Midnight in the background on your shelf and i had a mini heart attack because i LOVE that series
I loved listening your experiences. I'm knowing a bit about them watching your videos. That is nice. We don't have nothing like this in Brazil
I LOVED this video! I really want to do NCS next year, if there is such thing in Spain...really hope there is, btw love your videos they're very inspiring!!
thanks for making this video, I've been really scared to go ncs but I feel a lot more confident more x
Thank you this was really helpful and I cannot wait!! I'm doing it this year. I know what to pack for week one but what did you pack for week 2? x
Hey jade! NCS Sound absolutely amazing! I watched this whole video even though I don't live in England. I was wondering if Americans can do this, or if there are any similar programs like this in America.
Hi Jade sorry to bother but can u make a video on A level maths, biology and chemistry pls as i will be taking it. Thanks xxx
Absolutely loved this video! Has made me so excited to go on ncs :) xx
