What to wear & bring with you

All safety and specialist equipment will be provided. Please wear light clothing – you won’t need to wear your uniform for this activity. If the weather is warm a T shirt, shorts and an old pair of pumps or trainers will be ideal. If it is a bit colder or windy trackie bottoms may be better than shorts and a lightweight waterproof top would be handy. It is essential that everyone wears an old pair of trainers or pumps these will get very wet.

Drop off and Pick Up arrangements

This activity is taking place on an operational caravan & camping park by kind permission of the site owners Karen & Paul Merchant. There will be customers on site and it is vital that everyone follows the arrangements below to ensure safety and compliance with both the site’s and our Covid secure policy. Failure by anyone to follow these instructions may result in us being unable to use the site for future activities.

Arrival – Please arrange to arrive between 5.45pm and 5.55pm. Do not enter the site before 5.45pm. Follow the drive to the main car park where you will see a leader by the benches next to the carpark. Please drop off your youngster and wait for the signal from the leader that your youngster has passed the temperature checks and then please immediately leave the site.

Pick Up – Please arrive at site between 6.45pm and 6.55pm, park up in the main car park and remain in your car. The leader will send your youngster over to your car when it is safe to do so.

Scouts

A competition for all Scouts!

Somewhere in this info the letters ‘bp’ will appear randomly. On Troop night all of the Scouts will be asked to tell us whereabouts the ‘bp’ appeared and then we will ask them a simple question about something in the info. Everyone getting both questions correct will be awarded ‘Scout of the Month points’.

Tuesday & Wednesday Troop Nights

Great news, Troop Nights are back to ‘normal’ this week.
Haddon Troop will be meeting from 7.00pm to 9.00pm on Tuesday.
Wilson Troop will be meeting on Wednesday from 7.00pm to 9.00pm.

Scouts are asked to arrive between 6.45pm and 6.55pm and go straight to their leaders. There is no need to wait at the gate if it is open.

Scouts & Cubs need to wear full uniform, if they have one and it still fits! It is important that everyone wears a t-shirt under their Scout Shirt or Cub Sweatshirt so that they can take off their uniform shirt or sweatshirt as soon as the opening formalities have been completed. They will not need a change of trousers unless they are particularly concerned about their uniform trousers getting a bit dirty.

Please remember that we will be outdoors most of the night so they will most likely need a warm jumper or similar, and possibly a warm waterproof coat depending upon the weather. They also need to bring a bottle filled with water or a suitable non-fizzy drink.

You can download a copy of our Welcome to 1st Bedworth Scouts information pack here. The information gives you lots of important information that you need to know for Troop Night.

We will be outside for the evening, so please make sure you dress for the weather. Please bring a full drinks bottle.
