A Scout or Explorer Scout who wishes to lead a camping or residential event can do so when issued with an Event Passport.

Each Event Passport is issued for one event only by a permit holder experienced in the category of camp or residential experience proposed.

The Permit holder has responsibility for notification (see Rule Rule 9.57 (e)).

The Permit holder must provide support during both the preparation and the event itself and be satisfied that the young person has the required abilities.

Event Passports and guidance are available from the Scout Information Centre.

An adult Member wishing to lead a camping or residential event for Members aged 18 or over is not required to hold a Permit but must have first hand experience of camping or residential events and be familiar with The Scout Association's appropriate resource material.
