How To Book

Bookings can only be made through OSM (Online Scout Manager). If you already use OSM, you can book via the Events tab, or via our portal –

If your group doesn’t already use OSM, you can create an account free of charge – just click ‘Create account’ when prompted for your login details.

Contact  usc-bookings@southleics-scouts.org.uk with any queries.

Please note: We can only accept bookings from registered groups / organisations who hold public liability insurance. We cannot accept any bookings from members of the general public.

The bookings secretary will then email to confirm your request is available. Once your request has been accepted, you will need to send a non-refundable deposit by cheque or BACS payment within 4 weeks of confirmation or 2 weeks before your camp (whichever is sooner) in order to secure the booking.

Please write the group name & date of your camp on the back of the cheque and send it to:

Ullesthorpe Scout Campsite Booking Secretary at the address that will be given in the booking confirmation email.

The balance must be paid in full 14 days prior to arrival date. Failure to do so will result in the booking being cancelled and any deposits paid will be forfeited.
