Although the event organisers, Campsite Crew and Service Crew are on hand to do many of the jobs required during the weekend, they can't do everything! It's really important that leaders help out too.
During the booking process, you'll be asked to volunteer for a wide range of jobs. You’ll be told which jobs you have been allocated, as soon as we have allocated the jobs in advance of the event.
If you swap a job with another adult, or you're not able to undertake your allocated job, please let us know immediately. It's important that all the jobs are covered, and we know where you are in the event of an emergency

RATIOS
Troops/Units will need to provide the correct ratio of adult leaders for the group size and ages.
-
DBS
This is a residential event and therefore all volunteers over the age of 18 (other than 18 year old Rangers in Girlguiding who do not hold a leadership role) must hold a role in Scouting/Girlguiding that requires a DBS check, which must be up to date at the time of the event.
-
Insurance
The event is covered by the usual Scouting and Girlguiding insurance but this does not cover personal possessions or Troop/Unit equipment.
Leaders should check their car insurance to ensure they are covered to use their vehicle for volunteering, before carrying any passengers at the Hurdlestone Challenge event. Remember, children under 12 or under 135cm tall must sit in the rear and use an adult seat belt. Children aged 12 years or more, or over 135cm tall, may travel the front, but must wear the seat belt.
