Bookings

Places are allocated on a first come first served basis and The Deep has a limit that we cannot go over. Please gain interest from the parents/carers of your Section before booking, so as not to take up more than your required spaces.

1 Leader from each Section should then book by emailing Mandie with your numbers of young people, Young Leaders and Leaders. Please include any dietary requirements that The Deep will happily cater for.

Places will not be confirmed until full payment is received. If payment is not received within 10 days, then a Section's places will be released for others to use.

Mandie will share payment details with you via email, when she confirms receipt of your booking and the total you are required to pay.

All payments made are non-refundable as per The Deep's policy. This includes non-attendees on the evening or cancellations beforehand. 

Bookings will close on Friday 18th November

Ratios

The Deep require a 1:6 ratio of adults to young people for all Sections (Scouts).

Remember Young Leaders do not count as adults in this ratio.

Each Section should ensure they cover this ratio with their own Leaders. A member of the District Team will act as the +1 and Leader in Charge for the Event.

Please check on Compass that all adults attending have a valid DBS check in place for the event. Their membership numbers are required for your NAN Form. All Leaders should also ensure they will be training compliant for the Event, if not, they will not be able to attend. 

Nights Away Permit Holders

Even though this is a District organised event, NAN forms still need to be sent in to Josh DC by each Section. 

If a Section wishes to attend, but a Leader does not have a Nights Away Permit, then please get in touch beforehand so we can help facilitate this for you.

A brief outline of the Event for anyone who has not been before...

On Friday night, Scouts can arrive from 6:00pm. Each Section will be assigned a door where they will come in on Friday night and leave via on Saturday morning. You will be told this in the weeks before the event and we ask that you communicate it to your parents and carers in advance. Here there will be somewhere to leave their kit whilst they have a tour of the attraction and take part in the activities. Packed suppers and drinks should be taken out and placed in your coloured trolley here.

Supper will be eaten anywhere around 8:30pm, so please advise parents and carers to feed their Scouts something beforehand. It is easier if their supper is all disposable too, however it is advisable to bring a refillable drinks bottle for the duration of the evening. Adults should bring travel mugs too for hot drinks provided by The Deep.

Based on the number of young people in your Section, The Deep will allocate you to an appropriate sized sleeping area for your Scouts, Leaders and any Young Leaders.

In the morning, after a peaceful (!) night’s sleep, The Deep staff will allocate your Section a time slot for breakfast and visiting the shop. Parents can pick up from 8:00am on Saturday morning, with everyone out by 8:15am so the staff can do a quick turnaround ready to open to the public.
