4: ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIESProvided by Garry Breadon BC – Adventurous Activities and the Branch Leaders (Adventurous Activities)GENERAL ADVICEThese requirements for Adventurous Activities are current as at the date of publication. If any Leader requires furtherclarification or advice, the Branch Leader Adventurous Activity (BL(AA)) appointed for that Activity should beconsulted in the first instance. BL(AA)s contact details are listed in the Branch Personnel Directory in Section 1.ACTIVITIES POLICYIt is the policy of Scouting in Victoria that no member should be denied the opportunity to participate in any activity that is readilyavailable to members of the general public through the operation of a commercial enterprise except in the case of a particularactivity for which the Association cannot obtain Public Liability insurance (or not at an acceptable cost) or has no provenexpertise, recognised experience or professionally qualified resource of its own, available to assess the inherent risks, to definethe parameters and who has been formally authorised to accept leadership responsibility for the activity.This policy has been framed within the context of the Association’s Code of Conduct and its training program, recognising alsothe inherent responsibility of each individual Leader to exercise at all times, the personal Duty of Care that is imposed upon eachof us by statute and common law. Our guidelines may therefore be summarised as: “appropriately trained Leaders” “health”“safety” and “common-sense”Against this background, Scouting activities can be divided into two separate and distinct classes: Regular Scouting Activities are those that do not present a greater element of risk to the participants than any other. Forthese activities, our Woodbadge training program adequately covers most requirements for Joey Scout; Cub Scout; Scout andVenturer Scout Section activities, while specialist assistance remains necessary for certain specialised activities e.g. Air andWater Activities; Adventurous Activities are those that do present a greater element of risk than Regular Scouting Activities. These areactivities for which our Leaders are required to undergo specialised training and/or to demonstrate a prescribed level ofcompetency, Recognition of Current Competency [“RCC”] in any one or more of these particular adventurous activities.The key to prudent activity planning is a combination of judgment and application of the principles of risk management. Thefollowing Policy and Guidelines have therefore been endorsed by both the BL(AA) Council and the Branch Management Council.Any Scout is permitted to participate in any formally approved or recognised Scouting activity, subject to the total observance ofthe following Guidelines. Responsibility for the safe conduct of any Scouting activity will vest absolutely in the Leader in Chargeof that particular activity and in full recognition of his or her Duty of Care to the participants.GL/DC CHECK LIST –APPROVING ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIESIt is the ultimate responsibility of the Group Leader (LIC) of the Group to satisfy themselves that their Group Members areparticipating in an activity that will be conducted by Appropriately Trained Leaders.The Group Leader should consider the following in making that decision.ACTIVITY BRIEF Consideration of Award Scheme requirements, Conservation and Environment concerns.
