Cancellations

  • 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 charge of 20% of the outstanding fee.
    • At 20 working days notice or less a charge of 50% of the outstanding fee.
    • At 5 working days or less or in the event of a non arrival, the full price of the facilities will be charged.
  • 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.
