Description

A camp, event or activity run jointly by Guiding and Scouting volunteers for participants from both organisations.

 

Regulations

Activity and residential regulations should be observed as follows:

  • Leaders should refer to the activity guidelines of both Associations, and where regulations differ should follow whichever are stricter.  Contact your Outdoor Activities Adviser or activities@girlguiding.org.uk if you are unsure.
  • Where only one Association provides guidelines on a particular activity those guidelines should be followed.
  • For activities not listed in either Association’s guidelines, Leaders should follow the safety rules of the national governing body in consultation with the appropriate Commissioners and Advisers.
  • Approval for joint activities to take place must come from the relevant Commissioners and Advisers of both Associations.
  • Scout Association members and volunteers taking part in a joint activity with Girlguiding UK do not need to complete Girlguiding UK recruitment checks.
