Outdoor Unit Bubble Visits
Whilst we are not able to open Dudsbury Guide Camp in full, we are pleased to be able to reopen the Main Site outdoor space for outdoor meetings for Girlguiding groups.
We can accommodate up to three groups at a time, appropriately distanced on the main site, one group in front of the Chalet, one group in front of the house, and one group on the camp site.
We have been busy putting together plans to ensure that we are Covid secure and full details can be supplied on request.
How are we staying Covid Secure?
Use of the outdoor space during Covid-19 includes sole use of one toilet area for your group and an outdoor space appropriately distanced from the other spaces used by other groups.
Unit Checklists and Risk Assessments - Girlguiding recently brought in a new system of paperwork for units to be able to meet outdoors which needs to be signed off by the local commissioner. This paperwork, once approved, needs to be shared with the wardens at least 24 hours prior to your visit. No paperwork = no visit.
Maximum Group sizes - Units need to follow the Girlguiding guidelines which currently allow up to 15 people (girls and volunteers) in any one 'bubble'. Volunteers should not be part of more than one bubble in any one day. A unit may book more than one bubble to visit Dudsbury at the same time, however each bubble must operate independently with its own Leaders, first aider, equipment, etc.
Access to toilets - Use of the outdoor space during Covid-19 includes sole use of one toilet area for your group. The outdoor toilet block can be split into two separate areas.
Leaders will need to decide how they will manage their group if more than one girl needs to use the facilities during your visit. These facilities are sanitised in between each group visit. All groups should clean hygienically as they use the facility. Cleaning materials will be supplied.
Members of all units visiting the site are expected to maintain good social distancing practice and good hand hygiene standards in line with government guidance.
