COVID-19 Safety at Drum Hill Scout Camp
Current Readiness Level: AMBER. (CLICK HERE for full details)
LAST UPDATED: 08.09.2020
We all want to be able to resume the activities we all love and miss as soon as possible. We've been working hard over the last few weeks to be able to offer at least some of what is possible at Drum Hill Scout Camp, in a COVID-19 safe way. We'll keep this page updated with the latest information about what is available on site, in line with the restrictions currently in place. These measures are in the interest of keeping everyone who comes to Drum Hill Scout Camp safe - we appreciate that some of the measures are restrictive, but the more closely we all follow these, the faster we'll be able to relax back to a more normal way of scouting.
Information for Groups
This information is available as a PDF download from the Downloads section below. Here are the additional measures we have implemented to comply with current government restrictions and guidance on re-opening as a COVID-19 secure site:
- Advanced booking, minimum of 48hrs in advance, is mandatory
- Group leaders must arrive early, to be on site to meet their group. Young people who arrive early must wait in cars until a group leader arrives
- Groups must congregate in the top car park, in the allocated area
- Groups must stick to the allocated area (marked on the map in your welcome pack) during your stay on site, apart from when using the toilets
- Maximum group size is 15 people
- Groups must provide hand sanitiser for their group
- Social distancing must be observed when using the toilet blocks
We have put up additional signage around site, as a reminder of these additional measures.
