Subs Payments
Details
We are currently not able to accept any cash payments. Our preferred method of payments are via bank (BACS) transfer. If you cannot do a bank transfer we do have an alternative cash free method available if necessary.
We are now accepting subs payments by BACS/standing order. If you would like to pay subs by BACS/standing order it must be paid in advance and we would suggest a payment of £10 per month. This will keep your payments on track, as with the weeks we are closed it will average out over the course of the year.
To set up to pay this way please put SUBS and your child’s name in the payment reference and email Luke at [email protected] to say that a payment has been made. We do still ask that your youngster checks in at the start of the evening, so that our fire checklist and attendance register is correct.
Activity Payments
You can also pay for activities and camps in this way. Put the reference as the activity name and your child’s name and then email Luke once the payment has been made.

So what do the organisers say about this event?
Main Event – constantly evolving…
You told us that you want a challenge, preferably one that is a surprise each year, so that is what we aim to deliver. Obviously, it is really hard to describe a surprise, so what can we tell you? We have a 3,000 acre site and surrounding land to set a dynamic route of between 10 and 30 miles, and a crack team of volunteers from across the country to make it happen! Who knows what this year will hold, all we do know is that the Evolution main event will be brilliant fun and test your teams and individual physical, mental and Scouting skills.
The Rest of the Weekend
With Friday and themed Saturday night entertainment – including a DJ live bands and traditional fairground games and inflatables – there will be lots to keep you entertained!
