Drum Hill is a Scout campsite in Little Eaton, just north of Derby and close to the Peak District.. The site has lots of facilities (including toilets, showers and a Providore) and on-site activities such as archery and climbing. Scouts will sleep in tents and camp in Patrols, cooking on wood fires. Activities will include pioneering, games, hiking and cycling. We may also spend a day at Alton Towers!
The cost of the camp is £250 plus spending money (£35 maximum). Please confirm attendance by Friday 6 May with a deposit of £50. Further payments will be requested in accordance with the payment schedule on MyScout (£100 by 3 June and £100 by 8 July). Payments can be made on MyScout by Direct Debit, to a leader by cash or cheque, or directly to the Group account by bank transfer. (If you make a payment by bank transfer, please advise me by email.)
Spending money is to be paid to a leader by cash or cheque by 8 July; Scouts can then withdraw their spending money from Camp Bank during the camp itself.
Summer Camp is the highlight of the Scouting year and allows us to put into practice many of the skills we learn in our weekly programme. All members of the Troop should have the chance to go to summer camp. We understand the financial pressures that parents face and do not want any of our members to feel excluded. Please speak to one of the leaders in confidence if you need assistance from our Helping Hand fund. We don’t want anyone to miss out on this opportunity.
Kit lists, parental consent forms and further information will be issued nearer the date of the camp. Meanwhile, if there are any queries please do get in touch.
