A School Group is one which is registered as such by the principal of a school
and is composed entirely of pupils who are, or have been, at the school. It is
essential that membership of such a Group shall be genuinely voluntary.
(b) Though various reasons may prevent School Groups from mixing as fully as
other Groups with local Scouts they should keep in touch as far as possible in
the spirit of the Scout Law.
105. THE CLUB
(a)
A Kea Club may consist of up to twenty-four Keas, provided sufficient assistance
by way of Kea Leaders, Programme Activity Leaders and other helpers available.
A ratio of one adult to every six Keas must be maintained.
The Leaders, Assistants, Programme Activity Leaders and helpers should
understand the concept, organisation and management of the programme thus:
The Programme concept is based on an informal but organised programme
guided by the Adults of the Section and aimed at Keas developing sharing,
caring, discovering and growing. The organisation of the Programme is based on
members of the Kea Club working together dividing into temporary small groups
according to interest activity. There are no formal groupings within the Club.
The management of the Programme relies on the training and experience of the
adults in the Club, their effective building on Keas' interests, and interpretation
of the section programme as set out in National Programmes.
(b)
Training: The training of Keas must follow the national programme and youth
award scheme whether or not a Club is part of a Group, which includes Air or
Sea Scouts
(c) Uniform: Keas, Kea leaders and Programme Activity Leaders may wear the
appropriate uniform as set out in Management Procedures.
