Transport Policy
Travel Arrangements:
- Kirikiriroa & St Peter’s Scout Group does not arrange travel to and from Scouting activities whenever possible.
- Whānau are encouraged to form relationships with our group members and carpool and share travel costs.
- Kaiārahi and Adult Helpers must be police vetted members of the group.
- They should always be two deep with youth during transport.
In a transport context, the two-deep rule can be achieved in the following ways:
- Two Kaiārahi or Adult Helpers with one or more youth members.
- One Kaiārahi or Adult Helper with two or more youth members.
- On rare occasions, for example traveling to the Northland Regatta, the group may organise transport.
- In such instances, a Group Leader must sight evidence of a valid driving license, warrant of fitness, and insurance for every driver and vehicle in the convoy.
- Whānau transport costs are not covered by camp fees.
- We encourage whānau to offer a koha (voluntary contribution) to the driver to help cover the transportation expenses.
