Hi

With only 1 week to go I thought I’d remind you of some the arrangements

The Camp Starts from 6.30pm on the Friday, thats when registration opens. Because of the geographical spread. We expect groups to arrive 1 or 2 hours later than that time. The 1st timed programme activity is at 9.30pm – The Opening Ceremony

The Camp will finish at 3pm on the Sunday.

On arrival Cars  will be able to DROP OFF in the main Car Park, anyone staying for any length of time will park in the overflow car park, which you will be directed to. Please remember the cost of the camp does NOT include transport.

Group Leaders must register as soon as possible with the Camp Office, which is located at the Richmond Chalet (opposite the wardens office). Here you will be allocated Wristbands, Activity tickets and further information.

Tents & Equipment
All Groups must bring their own Tents for sleeping in. Each Group is responsible for erecting (and packing up) their own tents. A marquee, Tea & Coffee etc will be provided at each subcamp.

Tents may be erected on Thursday 20th May from 6pm, and on the Friday 21st May from 12noon. Please visit the Camp office before proceeding to erect any tents.

Nights Away Permit
For the purposes of the Nights Away Scheme, my Nights Away Permit covers the whole camp. The ‘management’ of the camp is controlled by a number of people in my team. These include very experienced Scouters with many years experience.

Badges
Badges have been posted out to the the Leader in Charge of the Group and should be sewn on before arrival at the camp.

Catering
Catering is provided centrally. There is no need to bring any facilities for cooking in any way as Tea and Coffee making facilities will also be provided.  Plates, Cups and Cutlery are in the Kit List and are required.

The first meal will be supper on the Friday night, it will not be substantial, ensure that the Cub / Scouts and yourselves get fed dinner before you leave!!

Volunteering
As you can imagine there will be times when we’ll need a hand to do some things. There is an expectation that Leaders will willingly help when asked.

I look forward to seeing you all on the 21st!!!

Should you have any questions dont hesitate to get in touch.
