Outdoor Qualification Scheme Registration

Following discussions with Division Commissioners and Advisers we have updated the registration form to include a few changes. The main differences are:

• When registering you need to make 3 copies of the form and give one to your District Commissioner; one to your Division Residential Adviser and send the third to the Outdoor Mentoring Administrator (address on the form).
• You are asked to state your preferred method of communication (telephone, letter or e-mail). The updated form is included in this newsletter and is also available to download here.

Brownsea Island - Attention!!

Due to an incident on the ferry between Poole and Brownsea Island, baggage has now been restricted to 2 pieces of hand luggage per person. This means that groups wishing to camp on Brownsea will no longer be able to take all their equipment over unless they hire a private boat (£100 each journey). Alternatively Brownsea Island does have it's own kit to hire. Prices can be found on the Brownsea Island website.
