- Cancellations must be made in writing
to Cranham Scout Centre. In the
event of booking being cancelled and that booking cannot be re-let the
following charges apply (subject to review in extenuating circumstances):
- At 30 working days notice or less a

- Cranham Scout Centre reserves
the right to cancel, alter, or delay any camp, course, accommodation or
activity where forced to do so by
circumstances beyond our control, such as serious illness, severe weather or
any other circumstances which would subject Cranham Scout Centre or any
of its employees or participants to danger.
- Cranham Scout Centre reserves
the right to send away from a camp or activity, any person who in their
judgement is found to be unmanageable or a danger to the safety or enjoyment of
others. In this event no refund will be given. Any additional costs and
responsibility involved in removing the participant will be borne by the group.
Indoor
Accommodation
- It is the responsibility of the Group
Leader to ensure that all areas used by their group are left in a clean and
tidy condition at the end of a booking.
We reserve the right to charge groups who damage equipment or buildings,
or who fail to leave the building in a reasonable condition. Groups will be charged an extra £60 cleaning
fee if the building is left in an unsatisfactory condition. Charges for damage will
reflect the costs for replacement or repair as necessary.
Activities
- Some activities may require the
wearing of safety equipment, such as helmets or buoyancy aids. Where such
equipment is specified by Cranham Scout Centre, participants must wear it
at all times during the activity. Certain activities are only suitable for
specific age groups and these age restrictions must be adhered to. Cranham Scout Centre accepts no responsibility when groups fail to adhere to these
rules.
- Some activities are potentially
dangerous if not skilfully managed. Safety must therefore be paramount and all
participants must accept that the decision of the activity instructor is
final. Cranham Scout Centre will
accept no liability for problems arising from failure to accept and/or respond
to the authority and instructions of the instructor.
Complaints
- If you have any complaint during your
booking please notify the Centre Manager or Duty Warden. We will do our utmost
to find a speedy and satisfactory solution. In the event that you are not
satisfied with the solution please make your complaint in writing to the Centre Manager
within 14 days of the end of your booking.
