We recommend arriving no later than 17:45 to give you time to check in and make your way to the activities by 18:00. 

Departures from 20:00.

If you have accessibility needs, please let our team know on arrival and they'll work with you to find a suitable parking space.

All attendees will need to bring their own refillable water bottle.

Appropriate clothing dependent on the weather.

• Waterproof coat
• Strong, sturdy closed toe shoes (no flipflops/crocs/sandals/welly boots)
• Baseball/sun hat
• Long sleeved jumper/hoody
• Trousers
• Hairbands for tying hair back

Some of these requests are due to activity risk assessments and therefore failure to comply could prevent young people from being able to participate.

Please make sure all clothing and items are clearly labelled with name and that any valuables are left at home. We strongly recommend that children DO NOT bring mobile phones, smart watches, handheld game consoles or music devices. We cannot accept any responsibility if they are lost, damaged or stolen.

We supply all safety equipment such as helmets and harnesses for all activities that require them. Please do not bring your own. 

We're aiming to run our Discover Adventure Nights programme from 18:00 – 20:00 and up to three activities on a ‘queue and do’ basis.

Individual bookings are not available - young people must attend with an organised group. 

No pets, other than assistance animals, are permitted on the centres. 

Smoking is not permitted in front of young people, and only in our designated smoking areas.

Litter bins are located across all areas of the centre. Please help us to recycle by putting dry, clean mixed recyclables into the large green bins; and any other waste in the black bins or litter bins. 

Our toilets will be cleaned regularly by our team, and hand soap and toilet roll is provided. Accessible toilets are available and marked on the event map. 

Phone signal can be intermittent at all our centres. Wi-Fi will be available at Reception. 

Our centres will return to hosting other groups the day after the event: so please help us give a good impression of Scouts by leaving the areas of the centre you use as you found them. 

The majority of our event staff are volunteers who have given up their time to make your visit to our centre safe and enjoyable. Please keep the Scouts values in mind when interacting with others. We have a zero tolerance approach to any type of abuse – you will be removed from the centre and details shared with your Lead Volunteer and/or the police. 

Scout Adventures reception will be open throughout the weekend for anything you need. We'll also have a Lost Child point and First Aid point. 

We'll have additional welfare and safeguarding resources available during the event, but volunteers are responsible for the young people in their care.

Please ensure all adults are familiar with the Young People First code (Yellow Card).

A charging point for mobility scooters and medical equipment will be available, as well as a fridge for any medication that needs to be kept cool.

It's really helpful to ensure that young people have their group name along with their group contact's mobile number so we can locate them as quickly as possible if we need to. 

The centres have open land with various access points. Please remain vigilant and report anything suspicious to a member of staff.

Keep valuables at home if you can, and keep anything you do bring in-sight or on your person.

Scout Adventures reception will be open throughout the weekend, clearly sign-posted. You’ll find staff wearing Scout Adventures uniform or an event staff necker.

In the event of an emergency

• Immediately inform a member of staff. They will take appropriate action and call for help.
• Follow all directions issued by staff.
• All calls for emergency services should be made by the Duty Manager except where a delay would be life-threatening.

Discovery of a fire

• Activate the fire alarm or use a fire bell if present and warn people in the area.
• Try to control small fires using fire buckets or an appropriate extinguisher until help arrives. Don’t put yourself at risk – if in doubt, leave it alone.
• Evacuate the area immediately.

In the event of a terror attack
In the event of a terrorist attack, follow the government run, hide, tell advice.

• RUN to a place of safety. This is a far better option than to surrender or negotiate. If there’s nowhere to go, then…
• HIDE It’s better to hide than to confront. Remember to turn your phone to silent and turn off vibrate. Barricade yourself in if you can. Then finally and only when it is safe to do so…
• TELL the police by calling 999.

Centre evacuation

In the event of a full evacuation of the centre, staff will marshal you to the chosen Assembly Point using the safest route. Follow their instructions and do not leave the centre until instructed.
