At the Scout hut we have a combi boiler to provide heating and hot water
which is supplied with calor.
It regularly locks out and hence the cubs, etc. arrive to find no heat.
Any suggestions about what we can do to prevent the problem?

How do you get heat back?

I have a similar problem which is caused by people messing with the
controls.

The red LED lights to indicate lockout - you press the flame
out/reignite button and i then fires up. It is not every time but it
seems to be when it has been off and then the time switch cuts in.

That is usually a problem with the Flame Failure thermocouple/system.
Replace the thermocouple if possible, they are cheap and usually easy to
fit. They usually have a life of only a few years. If that does not
solve the problem, turn up the control on the pilot light a little, and
make sure that it plays directly on the thermocouple.

Get someone in to find out why it locks out

Teach the cubs how to rub sticks together and make fire?

When I was a Scout I found that rubbing two Girl Guides
together produced a fire more quickly than the sticks method
