Activity Rules for Leaders
Adventurous Activity Checklist.
Before any adventurous activity can take
place, Leaders should familiarise them selves with the Activity rules in
Chapter
9 P.O.R.
In order for insurance cover by
headquarters to be effective the rules of the association must be complied with,
particularly those governing the authorisation of activities, safety precautions
applying to activities (Chapter
8 rule 8.3). To this end
before an activity takes place a Leader must ensure that:
-
The leader of the activity has a current
and appropriate authorisation ( a list of those with current authorisation in
a District held by the DC and ADC Activities)
-
An informal risk assessment to establish
party members capabilities and experience
-
The party size in accordance with
regulations.
-
There is an adequate ratio of leaders to
young people,
-
GSL's have been notified of the event,
-
There is a Home contact who is not
related to anyone in the party,
-
The home contact has been given details
of the programme, route and party members,

The party leader has copies of
everything the home contact has given,
