Planning Adventure Activities
When planning some adventure activities with your youth group be sure to do the following:
- Get permission for the particular activity from Parents/guardians
- Check with your insurer if the activity is covered and get additional insurance for the particular activity if necessary
- Think about what you may need to know about this particular activity - I recommend the Scoutbase information pages (http://scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=26,407,351)
- Check that the provider of your activity provides a professional and safe environment e.g. if the instructor is required to have an AALA licence
- Plan how you will transport the young people and ensure any
cars used are roadworthy and have adequate insurance - Do a risk assessment
- Be aware of the nearest Accident and Emergency to where you are doing the activity
- Pack a first aid kit and log book
- Make sure you have a fully charge mobile phone with you
- Have fun!
