| Scout Leaders who have a Camping Permit are able to
take Scouts to camp (indoors, at Scout sites or green
field sites depending upon the permit). Within the
scope of their permit, Leaders can issue an Event
Passport which allows Scouts to camp in small groups
without an adult Leader. |
| Scout Leaders have to be very sure that the Scouts
are responsible enough to do this for the health, safety
and well being of the Scouts involved. Any
injuries / problems with a Scout run camp could impact
not just that camp but the Scout Leader's own camp
permit. |
| Within our Scout Troop the scheme will be run under
the following initial conditions which may change as
Scouts gain experience and demonstrate their
responsibility:- |
| 1. The Scout issued with the Event Passport has the
Camper Badge or is being assessed for the badge. |
| 2. All participants must be at least 12 years of
age. |
| 3. The number of participants is 3 or 4 Scouts,
normally of the same gender. |
| 4. All participants have the responsibility to
accept the decisions and Leadership of the Scout with
the Event Passport (who is mature enough to operate a
sensible decision making process). |
| 5. Scout run camps will only be for one night. |
| 6. The camps must take place at a location where
there is easy access to indirect supervision, e.g. the
Scout HQ, Willesley (when there is a resident warden) or
an approved local farm. |
| 7. All participants have demonstrated the consistent
implementation of the Scout Group's
Code of Behaviour. |
| 8. The Scouts have a planned programme (at the HQ
this could include painting, developing this web site,
maintaining the camp equipment, at other locations it
could include a hike or the site's activities). |
| 9. The participants are contactable by mobile phone. |
