New for the 2023 season, you can now pay for activities using a credit card!

When booking your activity through the booking page, you will be able to choose to pay either online or offline. Online payments are facilitated by our payment gateway, Stripe. You can choose to pay either in full at the time of booking, or a deposit only. For online payments you will receive a receipt immediately after funds are received. For offline payments, there is manual intervention needed by the team, so receipts may take some time to come through. Please appreciate that during the main season the team is busy running activities every night of the week, so time for admin is minimal. Apologies in advance for any delays. 

Deposits for all activities is 20% of the full price cost. Deposits are required within 10 days of making the booking otherwise we will release your booked places back into the booking system for other people to book. Deposits are non-refundable. Please see our booking policy for full details.

Invoices will be sent to the email address provided when booking. The invoices will be sent from our payment gateway, Stripe. You can settle the invoice either by online payment by card or offline payment by BACS. The payment details can be found in the stripe invoice.

Online payments are our preferred method of payment as it helps to keep the admin to a minimum for both you and us. However, we appreciate that not all groups are able to make payments online. Offline payments can be made by BACS to our account, details of which can be found when booking through our booking system, and in our booking confirmation email.

Our activity sessions that are designed for beginners are labelled as “Come and Try it” sessions. These are for young people who are wanting to try a new activity. Activities like our water weekends are designed for people who have done the activities before and are wanting to develop their skills further.

This will depend on the activity and the young person, safety and wellbeing are always our primary concern, so it’s best for us to have a discussion about any Scouts with additional needs. You can contact us by emailing [email protected]. 

Unfortunately we are only able to accept the number of places you have booked. All of our activities have maximum group sizes for safety and throughput purposes to ensure everyone gets the most out of their adventure with us. 

Details on which badge requirements have been met are now provided in the information packs for each activity which you can find by going to your section’s page on our website.
