Senior Section Permits
 Become a holiday planning-expert by planning and managing overnight
events to gain your Overnight or Senior Section Permit.
There are two residential permits for members of the Senior Section:
- The Overnight Permit allows any Senior Section member to take
up to eight people from the Senior Section or Guide section away overnight
for no longer than 24 hours. Three modules must be completed.
- The Senior Section Permit allows any Senior Section member to
do the same as the overnight
permit but for a camp or holiday of two nights or more. A minimum
of six modules must be completed, depending on the event and the age of the participants.
Both permits may be used for a base camp/holiday or a mobile expedition
camp/holiday in lowland or open country.
- You must have a relationship with the eight members you take away.
They could be peers or members of the Guide or Senior Section unit you
work with. This event must be held with the approval of the appropriate Leader.
- If you hold a permit you can also take an extension module
that allows these camps or holidays to take place abroad (for Senior
Section members only). This is for between four and eight people,
including yourself. Before starting this module you must have
already organised and led at least one camp or holiday.
- Parental consent is required for all those going away aged under 18 years.
- When working towards either
permit, check the latest edition
of Key Information before making
any plans.
- All the relevant forms
you will need can be found
in the
resources section of the
website.
- Modules completed for
the Senior Section Permit
can count towards the Camp
and Holiday Scheme should
you undertake this in
future.
The following modules of the
Senior Section Permit
correspond to the modules of
the Camp and Holiday Scheme
as follows:
Modules 1 - 5 of the Senior
Section Permit correspond
directly with Modules 1 -5
of the Camp and Holiday
Scheme.
Module 6 of the Senior
Section Permit corresponds
with Module 6 (elements C,E
and F) of the Camp and
Holiday Scheme.
Module 7 of the Senior
Section Permit corresponds
with Module 8 of the Camp
and Holiday Scheme.
Module 8 of the Senior
Section Permit corresponds
with Module 6 (elements A, B
and D) of the Camp and
Holiday Scheme.
There are no equivalent
modules in the Camp and
Holiday Scheme for Modules 9
and 10 of the Senior Section
.
- Make sure you get the modules signed off by an Assessor who
understands the Senior Section and holds a camp or holiday qualification
but isn't your Leader or someone you're regularly involved in guiding with.
More details about an Assessors responsibilities can be found on the
Senior Section CD and your local Senior Section Adviser or Outdoor
Activities Adviser should be able to help you pick the best Assessor.
