Keep it friendly
Everyone's welcome at Scouts - be respectful to other groups around you. You might be pitched near other groups when it's busy, so keep to your own pitch and please don't walk through other camps.

Keep it clean
Our team is made up of volunteers who have given up their time to run the centre. Please be considerate - keep toilet blocks clean, use the bins, and look after the centre. Let us know if you spot any problems, and we'll do our best to fix them as soon as possible.

Keep it down
Our quiet hours are 22:30 - 07:30. Please keep noise down - especially if you're running a late night activity or leaving early.

Keep it safe

• Keep paths, gates and access routes clear.
• Leave at least 1m between tents and 3m from buildings.
• Think fire - risk assess, have suitable firefighting equipment, store equipment correctly, check it regularly, and keep the area clear.
• Absolutely no fires are allowed directly on the grass. Beware of carbon monoxide - don't cook in poorly ventilated spaces or sleeping tents.

Keep it hygienic

• Please do not wash up using the toilets or water taps.
• Please put any food waste in the bins, and not down the sinks or in the bushes. We don't want to attract rats!
• Please place all of your sorted general waste and recycling rubbish and any unwanted BBQs and equipment in the bins located at the front of the site (next to the site entrance) before you leave the site
