To abide by Scouts Canada policies for Scouters under the age of 18 and the Two Scouter Rule and Transportation Standards we need to determine the age of passengers. In the lead up to camp, volunteer driver resources may be limited. Knowing the passenger’s age allows us to resource the vehicle with one or two fully screened scouters as required. 

 

We only require the contact details of the on-site Scouter. We do not need the names of the participants (youth or adults) in your group.

 

If you are an OOS and traveling as a group, we request the name, phone number and email of each person. This helps us contact you if there is a schedule change.
