    4. To ensure that potentially hazardous activities are carried out in a safe and proper manner by knowledgeable and experienced persons who will always have the safety and wellbeing of the young person uppermost.

    5. The authorisation requires 2 signatures: Approved Technical Assessor District Commissioner

    6. 1 Technical Competence 2 Scout Association Rules 3 Child Protection (not for personal permits) 4 Personal Suitability

    7. The standard of Technical Competence required is usually linked to the training schemes operated by the appropriate National Governing Bodies, e.g. British Canoe Union Mountain Leader Training UK etc. This is assessed by the Approved Assessor and looks at the specific technical and group management skills required to run the activity. It is usually assessed through a practical assessment.

    8. This looks at whether the Applicant is aware of the activity Rules and how they affect the activity within Scouting.

    9. This will be carried out by the responsible Commissioner and ensures that the necessary Personal Enquiry checks have been carried out and the appropriate child protection training has taken place.

    10. This is carried out by the responsible Commissioner, often in conjunction with a Group Scout Leader or similar, to check the Applicant is suitable (in terms of attitude) to be leading an adventurous activity for young people.

    11. 1 – Leadership These permits allow you to lead an activity for a group of young people. You need to remain with the group throughout the activity.

    12. 2 – Supervisory These permits allow you to remotely supervise a number of groups taking part in the activity. Further details of how these permits work for each activity can be found in the factsheet for the specific activity.

    13. 3 – Personal These permits allow under 18s to take part in adventurous activities without the need for someone with a leadership or supervisory permit to be present. They can participate with others with personal permits, but can not participate with or lead anyone without a permit.

    14. There is no requirement for the activity Permit holder to have a first aid qualification. However, there must be immediate access to a first aider holding a minimum of First Response. All groups undertaking adventurous activities in Terrain Two must have immediate access to someone holding a relevant and current full First Aid qualification. This need not be the Permit holder.

    15. Three clearly defined categories of terrain Terrain Zero Terrain 1 Terrain 2

    16. 1 Height limit of 500m above sea level 2 Must be within half an hour at normal walking pace (approx 2.5 km) of a source of help (e.g. road, house with phone) 3 No scrambling involved

    17. 1 Over 500m but less than 800m above sea level 2 More than 30 minutes but less than 3 hours from a source of help 3 There must be no scrambling required

    18. 1 Over 800m above sea level 2 More than 3 hours from help 3 Some scrambling involved

    19. Terrain 1 Summer conditions ? Terrain 1 Winter conditions ? Terrain 2 Summer conditions ? Terrain 2 Winter conditions

    20. Winter refers to when winter conditions, including snow and ice, prevail or are forecast. This cannot be defined by a portion of the year. Snow / ice cover is not the only defining feature. Severe cold, high winds and shortened daylight hours should also be considered. Summer means any condition not covered under winter.
