As many of you will recall we discussed the need for a few more of us to hold nights away permits at the 2009 AGM. Scouting POR states that that at least one person attending a weekend away where there are under 18 year olds present should hold a nights away permit. There are only one or two members of the unit currently holding such a permit which could in the future create a problem whereby we might struggle to have a permit holder available to go on a weekend away.
In order that more unit members can be accredited with holding a nights away permit, we have arranged for Steve Pope from the Leicestershire caving unit (known to Simon Pilsworth) to come along to LSSAU on Thursday 28 October commencing at 8.00pm to do a talk/ workshop with as many of us as we wish regarding nights away permits. Following this he will make submissions to county for permits to be issued.
It would be great if we could have as many as possible attending so maximising the benefit of Steve coming over so giving us maximum flexibility and coverage for those attending future weekends away.
Cheers Geoff
