Introduction

This year’s JAWS event is open to all Scouts across East Somerset District. All Troops will camp on the main camping field and will be required to cater for themselves as a group.

We are going to ‘Buddens Camp Site’, which is the Dorset County Scout Activity Centre, and we will have access to all the facilities again, including the showers / toilet block, a site gift shop, climbing tower, pioneering, caving, air rifle shooting and water activities.

For site location visit:

We would like every troop to provide a land based activity for when the scouts are not on the water. This has worked very well in previous years with troops running activities such as a scavenger hunt, trading post, volleyball, as well as many others. There can be prizes and certificates for each activity so I will need to know what your troop will be organising in advance. Please let me know by the closing date.

If there is a repeat in activities I will have to ask the second troop to change and bring something different so that there is plenty of variety).

Can I take this opportunity to remind all Leaders that any parents/helpers that you wish to bring along to help must have DBS clearancethrough the Scout Association.

Enclosed with this pack are health forms for Scouts, Young Leaders and Adults that must be completed by all those on site, both camping and just visiting. Also enclosed is a shooting permission form which must be completed by anyone who wishes to take part in the shooting activity. Troops will be responsible for their own health forms and provision of first aid facilities and resources; you must also make your own arrangements for a ‘Home Contact’ and this info MUST be included on the reply slip. Also DO NOT FORGET!! to complete the included NAN form online at:

There is a Gift Shop available on site and we will run a District tuck shop on the camping field if Scouts wish to bring some pocket money.

Please note that Buddens does not allow dogs.

All young Leaders within Scout Troops are welcome but they should be there to help like the adult helpers and leaders attending. If there are spaces available during the activity session they will be allowed to take part but Scouts must take priority during the camp (Hence the price difference).

If you would like any further information please feel free to contact me

Many thanks

Parental consent form – SHOOTING (JAWS ACTIVITY WEEKEND)

PLEASE NOTE: SPECIFIC PARENTAL PERMISSION IS NEEDED BEFORE A YOUNG PERSON CAN TAKE PART IN THIS EVENT.

This is important information for parents to read prior to signing the shooting permission form.

Extracts from the Firearms Act 1968

Section 21

(1)A person who has been sentenced (to custody for life or) to

preventive detention, or to imprisonment or to corrective training for a term three years or more (or to youth custody or detention in a young offenders institution) for such a term, or who has been sentenced to be detained for such a term in a young offenders institution in Scotland, shell not at any time have a firearm or ammunition in his possession.

2A person who has been sentenced … to imprisonment for a term of three months or more but less than three years (or to youth custody or detention in a young offenders institution) for such a term, or who has been sentenced to be detained for such a term in a detention center or young offenders institution in Scotland, shall not at any time before the expiration of the period of five years from the date of his release have a firearm or ammunition in his possession.

This Means

Section 21 prohibits the possession of firearms and ammunition (under any circumstances) by any person who has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term of imprisonment (or its equivalent for young persons) of 3 months or more. The prohibition applies in all circumstances, including handling and firing at an approved shooting club or at a clay pigeon shoot where a certificate is not ordinarily required. It also applies to the possession or use of other categories of firearms and ammunition such as AIRGUNS or shot cartridges for which a certificate is not needed.

A sentence of 3 months to 3 years attracts a 5-year prohibition, shorter ones no prohibition but longer ones means a life ban
