Letter
to Leaders and Members from the Merseyside Scout Council on
the 8th July 2003
Dear Colleague,
Scout
and Explorer Scout Residential Experiences
I am writing
to inform you of an intermediary support mechanism that is being
implemented in this County,in preparation for the launch of
the Nights Away Permit Scheme, during 2004.
From 1st
August 2003, Scouts and Explorer Scouts who wish to camp at
Tawd Vale without any
accompanying adults will need to complete a “Nights Away
Authorisation” for that particular event. This Authorisation
must be endorsed by any of the following people:
•
Assistant District Commissioner (Scouts)
• District Explorer Scout Commissioners
• District Commissioners
The completed
Authorisation must then be handed in to Tawd Vale staff on arrival
– failure to present this Authorisation would mean that
those Scouts / Explorer Scouts would be turned away.
Please
remember that this is only required if members of Troops or
Units are camping without adult leaders. Our intentions
are to begin to improve the standards of camping throughout
the County and introducing this mechanism at an early stage
will ease the introduction of the formal scheme next year.
Please find
enclosed a copy of our County Authorisation(see below) –
this should be used until the new scheme is
launched in this County. I would be grateful if you would circulate
as widely as possible.
Best Regards,
John Cadman,
Nights Away Advisor.
