Jim Page Camp Site Smoking Policy 

The Scout Association and the Camp Site has for the last 12 months had a restricted smoking policy where smoking has been positively discouraged. However with the current legislation we have a legal obligation in many areas. The Scout Association has a fact sheet FS320005 that gives positive advice that we will have to abide by.

 Smoking in Group Camp Sites 

There is to be no smoking anywhere on the Group Camp Sites except in the designated smoking areas, as decided by the Group Leaders. Smoking will also not be allowed in personal tentage, as this causes the additional risk of personal injury as well as a threat to the camp site as a whole.

 Smoking on the Main area (Public Areas) 

There is to be No Smoking in or adjacent to any building or marquee in the main areas of the site and in particular where there may be a large presence of young people. Smoking whilst walking around will also not be allowed, nor will smoking in toilets or shower areas.

 General Conduct  

The smoking areas will need to be equipped with receptacles for the containment of smoking materials and all users of these areas are to ensure that they correctly used and all burning materials are correctly extinguished, before leaving the area.

Alcohol Policy 

The campsite is used by Scouts and other youth groups and as such we ask that all adults abide by the Scout Associations 'Alcohol and Scouting' guidance as found in Factsheet FS185092
