Rule 7.1: Communication
When an activity takes Members of the Movement away from their home area each party must appoint a 'Home Contact'.
The 'Home Contact' (for example the Group Scout Leader or Group Secretary) must not be related to any member of the party.
The 'Home Contact' must be in possession of the names and addresses of the next of kin of each member of the party and know how to contact them, the party and the home Scout authorities. Details are contained in the factsheet Home Contact available from the Scout Information Centre.
