If you are an existing OSM user (e.g. for your Scout group) then you can login using your details. If you do not have an OSM login click the “Create Account” link and complete the new account details (note that the password must be 12 characters and include a mix up upper, lowercase, numbers and special characters).
You will then be presented with a detailed availability calendar. Coloured bars indicate existing bookings and the “view availability for organisation types” in the top level hand corner allows you to show availability for your particular organisation type. You can navigate to different dates using the calendar chooser to the top right of the calendar.
When you have found available dates, click the blue “Add Booking” button in the top right-hand corner of the page to start your booking. Enter the details of your group/party, the dates of the booking and the type of organisation and click the “Add Booking” button
The booking form will be displayed and allows you enter basic information about the booking. Please note, if your organisation requires a purchase order number to be quoted on invoices, then please include the PO number in the Group/Party name box.
You can then add items (box 1) to your booking (i.e. camping pitches / building / activities). When adding an item to your booking ensure that you complete all details. . For accommodation the dates (box 2) should match those entered in the core details section of the booking. If adding an activity then the dates would be the day and session time of your activity booking. Enter the number of people you are booking for (box 3). Camping pitches and areas have a maximum number of people so you may need to add additional pitches.
Finally, click the “Add to Booking” button to add the item to your booking. At this stage depending on the item booked you may be asked some further questions about the canvas and equipment you are bringing (see below)
Having added all the items to your booking, scroll to the top of the booking form click the “Submit Booking” button in the yellow area. This will create a provisional booking for the booking secretary to review.
Once the booking secretary has reviewed and accepted the booking you will receive a copy of your booking form and a request for deposit payment.
