Fires at Glenny Wood
At Glenny Wood camp site, you are welcome to have a camp fire or cooking fire. This is part of our scouting tradition after all. Glenny is in a woodland area, often with lots of young people on site, so please be extra vigilant when lighting fires.
There are only two places for ground fires in Glenny Wood.
Altar Fires - We have a supply of altar fires available for you to use, stored just up from the loos. When using them please ensure you bring with you buckets / bowls and have them full of water.
When you have finished please ensure the fires are fully out, nothing is left alight.
Most importantly
Please ensure you return the Altar Fires used back to the storage area and the ash is tipped in the wheelbarrow chained to the area.
Altar fires on the patio - There are two fixed altar fires for you to use.
Please ensure the fire buckets are full of water, before you light your fires.
When you have finished please ensure the fires are fully out, nothing is left alight.
Most importantly
Please leave the area clean and tidy.
Wood - There is wood lying around and available at Glenny, so scavenge for wood that has fallen in our woodlands areas. If using wood from the woodpile, please do not remove or use more than you need. Return unused wood to the woodpile at the end of your stay.
Please only use wood from the site and no pallet wood to be used.
