Walsall Duke of Edinburgh's Award

We have been informed that The Green Caravan Park will from immediate effect no longer accept Award Groups.

This Campsite is in the Long Myndd in Shropshire and is apparently very popular with Award groups. Unfortunately the reasons that they have given for no longer accepting Award groups is that the groups are noisy, create mess in the showers and show a general lack of consideration for other guests.

If your groups are likely to be affected please take steps to find alternative campsites. I am sure that not every group fell into the categories above but as usual unfortunately the actions of a small minority have meant that the affects are felt by the wider majority.

I know that the vast majority of leaders ensure good camp craft skills and ensure that their groups are no trouble but please reinforce the need for good behaviour whilst on public campsites, it is also the reputation of the Award that is questioned and good campsites are hard to find.
