It is also important that Group and other youth meeting places retain the
purpose for which they exist, i.e. the training of Scouts. Therefore, it is
recommended that alcoholic liquor should not be consumed on these premises.
There are many properly equipped places which present a far better
environment for holding functions of this nature and which present a more
suitable atmosphere for those wishing to participate.
In applying the above rules to any function, those responsible for the function
must always bear in mind the reputation of the Scout Movement and the safety
and other factors affecting not only its own members, but also the community,
and to maintain such standards as will allow no-one either within or outside the
Movement to make a justifiable complaint in these respects.
No alcoholic liquor is to be consumed on any “higher risk” activity examples of
which are listed on the Activity Intention form.
Those Leaders who consent to the consumption of alcoholic liquor pursuant to
Rule 11(d) or are responsible for the function pursuant to Rule 11(g) must be
able to justify their actions should they be subsequently questioned and failure
to do so may result in disciplinary action.
