ORGANISER TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
NOTE: ESGAV is obliged to void and refund tickets issued that are not approved by the respective National Leader. Attendance is also subject to the Terms and Conditions stipulated by the attendee's respective National Scouting/Guiding authorities.

Arrival at the campsite is NO EARLIER than 5:00 p.m. Friday, 20 March 2026.
Departure from the campsite is NOT BEFORE 4:00 p.m. Sunday, 22 March 2026 without permission from both ESGAV and the attendee's National Leader.

The following rules are designed to maximise the enjoyment for all who attend camp. Individuals obtaining enjoyment at other's expense is not the scouting way.

ESGAV camps are aimed primarily for scouts and guides aged between 13-25. Consideration will be given, however, to youth attending Year 7 at school with their National Group's authorisation. It is understood that everyone attending camp participates in all activities. Rovers, Rangers and all leaders registered with their National Groups are invited to attend whether to assist in the running of the camp or even to participate (those 25 years and under) provided they understand and abide with these rules.

The camp is run under the principles of the Scout and Guide movements, which include upholding the law of the land.
1. Consumption of alcohol and drugs is therefore not permitted for the duration of the camp.
2. Smoking and Vaping is illegal for under 18s and for over 18s is discouraged and only permitted in prescribed areas - no one may smoke anywhere in camp where expressed permission has not been granted.
4. Mobile phone photography and camera usage. In line with ESGAV’s privacy policy and protection of identity, attendees are not allowed to photograph other campers. ESGAV will provide official photographers with the appropriate training. National Leaders may enforce safekeeping of mobile phones overnight and/or at other times to ensure the protection of others.
5. Noise and movement after 'lights-out' is to be kept to a minimum.

Breach of these conditions may lead to restriction of participation, expulsion from camp or involvement of legal authorities if required. Persons under 18 will only be expelled from camp into the care of their legal guardians or the police. National Groups may take further action, and those in breach may be banned from future ESGAV camps.

Official National Scout or Guide uniform is required for the opening and closing ceremonies. An ESGAV Jumper with scarf is acceptable dress and recommended for the Saturday flag down and Sunday flag raising. Otherwise, full uniform must be worn for these events also. Windcheaters may be pre-ordered (recommended as stock is limited) or purchased in camp if available.

Standard gear for camping in tents in the bush is required. These include, but not limited to, suitable clothing and footwear; dishes, utensils and cups for eating and drinking (the camp does NOT supply these); sleeping bag; toiletries & towel; basic first-aid kit; pen & paper; torch; water bottle; compass; pocketknife (legal), wet weather gear. It is encouraged to bring clothes and props suitable to the camp theme, which is 'CAMPFIRE KITCHEN'. (Ask your National leader for further information.)

Ensure all personal property is labelled, so it can be returned if lost. Safety of personal items cannot be guaranteed due to the open nature of campsites and tents. Please do not bring valuables, or else keep them with you at all times. Electricity for re-charging or using personal equipment is generally not available!

The ESGAV Executive and Camp Committee take care to provide for the communal facilities and activities. Attendees and their property remain the responsibility of their National Leaders who retain the necessary authority and responsibilities. However, as the ESGAV Camp Committee is charged with the overall safety and amenity of the camp it has final say in such matters in conjunction with the ESGAV Executive.

In the spirit of co-operation all attendees are expected to carry out any reasonable request made by the Camp Committee and/or its representatives. Any dispute shall be considered by the attendee's National Leader and/or the Camp Leader and/or the ESGAV Executive members in camp.

Scouting is recognised as involving activities with varying levels of risk and all participants, and their guardians where applicable, acknowledge such risks and choose to take part willingly.

Insurance has not been taken out by ESGAV on the expectation that each National Group has their own insurance, and no liability is accepted by ESGAV or anyone organising or assisting in the running of the camp for any injury or loss that may occur. Please ensure your own group has adequate insurance and/or arrange personal insurance as desired.
