Please book at https://bookings.blacktoftbeacon-scouts.org.uk/

Where possible, we would prefer that all payments are paid by BACS. Details will be sent to those Sections that book on.

Even though this is a District organised event, NAN forms still need to be sent in by each Section. A reminder that these are submitted through our online form: www.blacktoftbeacon-scouts.org.uk/nan

If a Section wishes to attend, but a Leader does not have a Nights Away Permit, then please get in touch beforehand.

The Deep requires all Sections to have a ratio of 1:6. NOTE that this is different to the Scouting Cub ratio.You should ensure that you have the correct ratio of 1:6 for all young people attending, being sure not to count Young Leaders as adults in this. A member of the District Team will act as the Leader in charge for the event, so you don’t need to have an extra adult in your ratio for that.

Lastly, please check on Compass that all Leaders and any parents or new adults coming with you have a valid DBS check in place for the event and have completed the mandatory training for their role. Their membership numbers are required for your NAN Form.

Here is a copy of the Kit List.

On Friday night, young people can arrive from 6:00pm. Each Section will be assigned a door where they will come in on Friday night and leave via on Saturday morning. You will be told this in the weeks before the event and we ask that you communicate it to your parents/carers in advance. Here there will be somewhere to leave their kit whilst they have a tour of the attraction and take part in the activities. Packed suppers and drinks should be taken out and placed in your coloured trolley here.

Supper will be eaten anywhere around 8:30pm, so please advise parents/carers to feed their young people something beforehand. It is easier if their supper is all disposable too, however it is advisable to bring a refillable drinks bottle for the duration of the evening. Adults should bring travel mugs too for hot drinks provided by The Deep.

Based on the number of young people in your Section, The Deep will allocate you to an appropriate sized sleeping area for your young people, Leaders and any Young Leaders.

In the morning, after a peaceful (!) night’s sleep, The Deep staff will allocate your Pack a time slot for breakfast and visiting the shop. Parents can pick up from 8:00am on Saturday morning, with everyone out by 8:15am so the staff can do a quick turnaround ready to open to the public.
