require a licence

Many units do not have a Leader who holds or is working towards
a licence through the Training Opportunities: Camp and Holiday
Scheme. There are still many ways to offer residential
experiences to girls.
Here are some ideas:
- Link up with another unit where there is a licence holder and
take your girls away together.
- Check the Girlguiding UK website for events that your girls
could participate in, such as
international camps in the UK
- Training and
Activity Centres - check the website of your local Training and
Activity Centre to see what events are coming up where no licence
is required. Also see the
Adventure Made Easy brochure, which lists the events
coming up in 2011 and tells you if a licence is required.
- County/Division/District events - camps, holidays and
sleepovers may be coming up in your area for which you don't need a
licence to take your girls along. Contact your Commissioner and/or
Outdoor Activities Adviser to find out what events are being
planned.
- Put your girls in the lead and provide opportunities for Guides
and Senior Section members to work towards their own camp permits;
they can then be in charge of their own events: Guide Camp
Permits,
Senior Section Permits.
- Guides can run their own Patrol sleepovers without a Permit or
a Leader - see
events run by Guides for details.
- Senior Section members can go on Peer Residentials, where they
can plan and run a residential event without a Licence, Permit or
Leader - see
events run by Senior Section members for details.
