COVID-19 Update
Face to Face Scouting has to recommence sometime…
So why not start planning for a visit for a weekend with your Scouting proteges when this is all over?
Make your plans with only a 10% deposit to secure your weekend and we will hold your dates for 30 days for you to sort things out.
And as we don’t yet know when we’re all coming out to play this deposit is fully transferable to another weekend, be held for you against a future booking or will be refunded in full.
Unfortunately, we cannot predict when restrictions will be lifted.
What we can predict though is we will all need a large field, fresh air and fun to look forward to! Head over to www.willesley.org for booking info.
This offer applies to all bookings made 7 days before the recommencing of Face to Face Scouting by TSA and on a first come first served basis subject to availability. Instructor led activity bookings subject to instructor being available.
Keep safe and keep Scouting.

Site Facilities Activities Some activities are leader led, requiring a leader from your group to take responsibility for supervising the activity according to the site rules. The rules for each activity and other details are available on the website. The District must have written or electronic record of your acceptance of responsibility to comply with the rules before you commence the activity. The Wardens will prepare the activities for you and issue any keys necessary. The wardens, or any other representative of The District, may audit behavioural compliance during your sessions and reserve the right to stop the activity if procedures are not being followed. This is for participants and equipment safety and we request that you support their judgement. Please return the activity equipment to the state handed over when finished and the key back directly to the warden. The Tower, High Zip wire, archery and shooting require a permitted instructor, which are all volunteers and we are very short of them. The activity instructor coordinator will confirm if an instructor is available for your requested booking. Orienteering can be run anytime – maps can be downloaded from the website or may be available from the warden. Bring pens/pencils.

We have a shared single track access which can get blocked if people are inconsiderate. Please ask participants to carshare and arrive as close as possible to any allocated arrival slots – this makes a huge difference. If you have more than 200 attendees, please email willesleywarden@gmail.com for detailed advice on how to organise track discipline and car parking. Parking space is limited, please park neatly, tightly and
considerately. Do not block access to the track barrier, the back of the gatehouse, the container or the path to the courtyard arch. No vehicles are allowed on the grass when wet to avoid
churning it up. Keep to the edges of the camping areas if the warden lets you drive
on the site. Drive at a maximum of 5mph around the site with hazard
lights on when there are young people around. Please contact the warden as soon as possible after arriving on site so that you can be briefed and share any last minute changes or issues, confirm your latest program plan, tuckshop, campfire, numbers on camp, deposit and payment arrangements, site inspection and planned leave times. If you have booked a building, on arrival, the warden will handover the building to you, explain the operation of the key items, and carry out an inspection of the condition with you. Tree Preservation Water Fires Wood Quiet time Weather Public Footpath Rubbish and leaving the site better than you found it Please crush all rubbish before putting it in the bins.

any activity areas you have used before you leave, clear the fire and return all wood to the pile. Please ensure that you plan to collect in anything you put
out around the site as part of your program including direction signs and activity equipment. We have reusable recycling boxes for you to borrow if you
