See where everything is located on the Jarman Centre Map.
NB: Use of Portable Barbecues in foil trays
These get VERY HOT. Use them with care and only under careful supervision, and ALWAYS put them on the stone slabs or grids that we provide at the campfire circles, barbecues, altar fires and patrol cooking bases. It is dangerous to put them on wood (which will catch fire); grass (which will burn a hole) or our plastic benches and barbecue shelves (which will melt).
The Shelter
- The Shelter has two kettles, a freezer, bench seating and a cold water supply
- Toilet rolls and hand sanitizer are provided
- Keys to the Shelter, the lobby of the house and the activities cupboard are collected from, and returned to, the Warden (contact details will be provided)
