  • And teams must not swap events once they have started on the course...
  • If you are Senior or Open team and end up back at HQ at the end of Day 1, you are in the wrong place

  • Any overnight supervising leaders should must be suitably certified.
  • Teams’ Scout Leaders are requested to be contactable available at all times – e.g. leave mobile phone numbers with the Camp Marshall if going off site etc.
Campsite – Pitching and Parking
  • There is limited parking at the campsite. Scout Leaders are asked to camp at some distance from their teams to allow teams their full independence 
  • Teams will be instructed where to pitch when they arrive. 
  • Neither hexamine nor pierced blue gas canisters are allowed on site. 
  • Empty fuel canisters should be left beside bin bags (not in them due to risk of bin bags being burned).
