AMENDMENT: changed Jan 2006 due to change from Activity Authorisation Schemes to Activity Permit Scheme.
All expeditions within the United Kingdom are covered by this Rule. Prior notification to relevant Commissioners of expeditions involving nights away must be given as described in Rule 9.57 (e).
Some events will require the leader to hold an appropriate Adventurous Activity Permit. (Terrain One and above or on board watercraft). There is no additional requirement to gain a Nights Away Permit if the Activity Permit included an assessment of the skills needed to supervise camping or other residential experiences.
Where an Adventurous Activity Permit is not required for the expedition (for example, camping in Terrain Zero) then the leadership team must include a Nights Away Permit or passport holder of the appropriate category.
