Booking Conditions
Bookings from Scout/Explorer Scouts or members of other Youth organisations for camping will not be accepted unless confirmed by a responsible group leader. Scouts/Explorer Scouts and members of other organisations will not be permitted to book any building. These bookings must be made by a responsible group leader, who must be present throughout the hire period.
During the camping season (1st May – 30th September) if no campers have arrived on site by 10am Saturday morning (unless otherwise arranged with the booking secretary) then the warden will be free to lock up the site and leave it unmanned.
Users of the site must make their own insurance arrangements, as no cover is available through the campsite trust for personal or group equipment. In addition, non-scout users must show evidence of their own public liability insurance before any booking can be accepted.
All personal equipment such as washing up liquid, tea towels etc. must be provided by the site users and those using the buildings.
During the season, all fees for camping and use of the accommodation building must be paid to the warden before leaving the site. Out of season, all payments should be made to the booking secretary. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Melton Scout Campsite Trust’.
Electricity used in the Warden’s Chalet or Melton Lodge is metered. It is the responsibility of the hirer to verify readings with the Warden and the charge must be paid at the end of the hire period to either the Warden or booking secretary.
Groups can provide their own instructors for the climbing wall (but not the Archery Equipment) providing that instructor can verify that he is approved to use the Melton climbing wall.
