Holiday Adventures - BACK IN THE SUMMER
|
Following the pilot in the October half term, we're delighted to be opening up Holiday Adventures again for two exciting activity days in the Easter Holidays. We've listened to the feedback and these days will be even better than the last!!
These days are for parents to sign their own children up to. Young members do not need to attend with their group leader. Full details can be found in the Information for Parents document below.
The following consent form must be completed and submitted to the organising team as soon as possible but not later than 31 March 2022. If your young member is only attending on one day, please cross out the day they're not attending.
Each child needs their own form please. We anticipate the days will sell out quickly so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Sleepover event for Brownies, Guides and Rangers
|
Brownies, Guides and Rangers from across Gloucestershire are invited to come and celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with us as we light one of the official 100 Girlguiding beacons, have a campfire and then a sleepover, on Thursday 2 June 2022.
Groups will be advised of their staggered arrival time, but this will be around 7.15-7.45pm on the Thursday evening. Brownies will sleep together in large tents, which will already be erected. Girls will need a camp mat and sleeping bag. Guides are encouraged to sleep under the stars in survival bags and will need to bring a survival bag and a sleeping bag. Depending on numbers it may be possible for Guides to sleep under canvas if preferred. Please speak to us if this is required. Groups must come with their unit leader, adhering to ratios of 1:6 for Brownies and 1:12 for Guides. Young Leaders must be included in ratios. All attending adults must have a current DBS, as this is a residential event. A Going Away With licence is not needed, as the organising team will cover this requirement. First Aid and catering will be provided centrally. Food will consist of cake and hot chocolate on the Thursday evening and a breakfast roll on the Friday morning. Following the lighting of the official beacon (which has to be at 9.45pm) we will stay at the top of Bubbs Hill for some camp fire singing and refreshments before returning to camp. |

Departure on Friday morning will be staggered from 9.30am, with those living nearer going home first.
The cost of this event will be £10 per girl, which includes Deer Park camping fees, food, a craft and a commemorative badge. Accompanying adults cost is £5 per person, to cover the camp fees. Adult costs can be taken from unit funds.
Please complete the booking form and pay online to secure your places. Booking will close on the 14 April 2022, but may close earlier if all places are full.

A copy of our REN will be sent to you nearer to the event, to be forwarded to your District Commissioner.

We need volunteers to get involved in Deer Park events
All of the events run at Deer Park, such as Bubbs Hill Bash, the section activity days and badge day, are run by volunteers. They are supported by the Centre Manager and the County Volunteer Team (for example the Activity & Adventure Team Leader, the Going Away With Team, etc.) These events simply cannot happen without the support of these volunteers.
Volunteering at Deer Park events is an ideal way of signing off elements of a variety of awards such as the Queen's Guide, Duke of Edinburgh or Leadership Qualification.
If you'd like to find out more about these events then please get in touch with our Activities & Events Coordinators, Lexi & Kim, using the button below.
