Total cost
£45 payable by 1st April 2025

£15 payable by 15th March 2025
Location
This will be a brilliant camp which will see Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and adults from most of the Scout Groups in Nuneaton District camping together for a weekend of fun and activities.
Activities may include zip wire, pedal karts, tomahawk throwing, archery, shooting, kayaking, rafting and much more. All of the meals will be cooked in a central ‘cookhouse’ by a catering team so that everyone taking part can have the maximum amount of time on activities. The £45 camp fee includes all activities, food and camp fees.
Parents will need to arrange transport to and from Willesley Scout Camp which is in Leicestershire. If this is going to be a challenge you can book a place on a minibus from the Scout Hut for £5. There are limited spaces so please get in touch with Andy to book a place.
We are also looking for a number of parents who would like to join us for the weekend to help us with catering, activities and supervising the youngsters as our leadership team will be at full stretch helping to provide the many activities during the weekend. The cost for parent volunteers is just £15 to cover food & camp fees costs only. Please speak to Andy for more information.
Who?
This camp is open to all members of the Group.
How do I book on?
Please fill out the permission form and make a BACS payment as normal.

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 £13 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 treasurer@1stbedworth.co.uk 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.
