GLENNY WOOD AND COVID 19
A lot of work has been undertaken to adapted Glenny Wood during these difficult COVID-19 times. Whilst the status is now GREEN and fully open, we do expect the recommendations and good practice to be followed, and socal distancing maintained.
In reviewing our site the overriding priority, as always, is to ensure the safety of all those using Glenny Wood for Scouting and other activities and that of our small team who manage the site.
So, what changes have been made for the Safety of those using Glenny Wood?
- A Glenny Wood Covid-19 Risk Assessment has been undertaken and written down. This has been updated to reflect the recent rules changes >>>>
- Groups using Glenny Wood including residentials must follow the Scout Association readiness for England. >>>>
- All non-residential activities (including young people, Scout Network and adult only groups): No limit on group size, although all activities must be able to safely manage the risk of transmission of COVID and, if this is not possible, they must not take place.
- Residential activities: Nights away activities may take place, more details in the planning COVID-safe Nights Away in 2021 guidance. >>>>
- Similar guidelines must be available for other youth organisations to enable residential experiences at Glenny Wood otherwise default to the Scout Association guidelines.
