The Way We Use Information:

The information you submit to the site is displayed on your profile and in some other areas of the site such as the Forums if you choose to use them.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

i have introduced a chess game that can be played between beavers cubs scouts & parents - tested in firefox ok
(but not as good in safari unfortunately...(where the page needs refreshing after a move)

it's pretty nifty! you can challenge any registered members of the site, and leave games to resume later -- or put yourself up for a game which others can join..

let me know how u get on - there have been a few bugs with rating system and 'dark chess', but overall it seems great and there is realtime moves and chat too!!!

let me know how you get on!

1st Grange & Cartmel Scout Group

South Lakeland Scout Base

Accommodation

South Lakeland Scout Base is the headquarters of the 1st Grange and Cartmel Scout Group. It provides simple indoor accommodation for groups of up to 40, with up to five tents allowed near to the building. 

Please note that we do not have a camp-site as such and have no rights over the surrounding area, which is part of Cartmel Park - owned by the Holker Estate and permanently open to the public. 

The main room (11m x 9m) has a large open fireplace, four Calor gas heaters, chairs and tables.  The hall can be divided with a little ingenuity; many groups bring and use the inners from lightweight tents to create 'bedrooms'.  No beds or bedding are provided.

There is a separate carpeted leaders' room (2.9m x 2.7m) with an electric heater and a couple of camp beds and some inflatable mattresses.

There is an indoor W.C. with hand-basin and an adjacent toilet block available in the non-winter months.

There is a separate well-fitted kitchen (4m x 2.2m) which has two Calor gas cookers, microwave, large refrigerator (with a small freezer compartment), double sink with electric water heater, worktops, cooking utensils, pans, crockery and cutlery.
           
 
Location

The Base is delightfully situated in a secluded position on the edge of the historic village of Cartmel, and is surrounded by parkland and woods, suitable for many activities.  The park also contains the famous Cartmel Racecourse.
The village has a 12th century priory, market square, historic gatehouse, four inns, two cafés, and variety of shops including a Spar shop and the famous Sticky Toffee Pudding shop.
There are many interesting places to visit, several within walking distance:  Holker Hall (home of Lord Cavendish) with its gardens, and deer park; the limestone promontory of Humphrey Head; and Hampsfell with its panoramic view of the Lakeland Hills and Morecambe Bay from the top of its unique tower called 'The Hospice'. 

Three miles from Cartmel, Grange-over-Sands has good recreational facilities including tennis, putting, and bowls, and a wide variety of shopping experiences.
Many of the Lake District fells and lakes are within easy reach and the southern end of Windermere (lake) is only six miles away near Newby Bridge, with a Country Park for rowing and lake swimming, and a steam railway.
 
Directions

Road: Leave the M6 at Junction 36 and follow the A590 signed to Barrow.  After approx 9 miles, keep to the A590 at Meathop roundabout.  Continue along the dual carriageway for approximately 2 miles to the Cartmel Lane Interchange and turn left by the road signed to Cartmel (3 miles). 
On entering the village, turn right at the Pig and Whistle [the Spar Shop is just before the turning] and right again at the T junction.  Follow the road through the Village Square to the far end aiming to the left of the phone box out-side the Sticky Toffee Pudding shop.
Drive into the Car Park and go through the white metal barrier on the right and proceed alongside the car park.  Bear left along the unsurfaced track and Stop before you reach the grass outside the Base. (GR SD 376786)             
You may unload from here but not take vehicles onto the grass.  After unloading all vehicles need to be moved to the agreed parking place [P].
Rail: Cark (2 miles) and Grange-over-Sands (3 miles) with direct services from Preston and Manchester.  There is a direct path from Cark if you wish to walk to the Base.
