An exciting family weekend for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, we encourage parents to come along and see what fun we have on camp and during our meetings.
We really need more adult helpers, so please do join in the experience.
The activities have been confirmed as the following:
- Rifle shooting
- Indoor climbing
- High ropes
- Gladiator
- Fire lighting
The site is Tolmers Activity Centre, we have book a hut that sleeps up to 34 people. Parents and carers are welcome to stay, as long as they are DBS checked. Due to the layout of the accommodation, parents/carers will not be able to sleep in a room with their cubs.
The cost is £15/per person for the entire weekend, this covers the food whilst the 52nd EFS group will cover the costs for camping and activities. Parents/carers staying for the weekend will also be charged £15/each.

Requests
Parents, please volunteer to help on the rota. https://www.onlinescoutmanager.co.uk/parents/programme.php
We have not had any volunteers for the last couple of weeks, which makes it very difficult for us to plan the meetings. The 52nd group is run by volunteers and we really need help of parents on the night. If we don’t get volunteers we will start to nominate parents for each week.
Please also note that once you have booked for an externally paid event, if you do not notify us in time, you are obliged to pay for it. As a matter of courtesy we hope that you can understand why we request this and how it affects spaces, leaders required to attend and the potential damage to our reputation. Please respect this and let us know via OSM.
All bookings MUST be made via OSM and payments should be automated as it saves us much time in administration.We may be requesting an additional charge for any manual payments in the future.
Yours in Scouting
52nd EFS leaders
