feel free. However this policy is very good and covers all
eventualities.

|
- Generally on any scout trip we
say NO to any electrical items. We accept that owing to the time away
and lengthy journey that scouts may wish to listen to some music or play
a game. The conditions for allowing personal items on this trip are as
follows.
- The individual scout is responsible for their own electrical equipment,
this should be named, any serial numbers should also be noted before
departure.
- The insurance will not cover any loss, damage or theft.
- The Leaders and the group will not accept any responsibility whatsoever
for personal electrical equipment.
- Mobile phones are not allowed on this trip. If anyone needs to contact
the leaders in the event of an emergency they should go through the home
contact system and they will contact us on your behalf.
- We are hoping to organise a blog on the group website, this will allow
you to read messages from the scouts and see how they are getting on, we
hope to update this daily.

- Please ensure that your child has their own passport and that it has
more than six months before it expires at the time of departure.

- We will be splitting the group into groups of similar ages, whilst away
from the mountain and during après ski.

- This will be a similar set up to UK Patrols but with more suitable
names, probably mountains! Everest, Eiger, etc.

- As you will appreciate we want to make this a fantastic trip for
everyone for ALL the right reasons. Because of this we have put together
some simple rules.
- We expect all scouts to be on their best behaviour, polite and
respectful of other people and their privacy.
- We will not tolerate bad language or aggressive behaviour.
- We will not tolerate any behaviour which may result in any damage to any
property. If any damage should occur as a result of such behaviour,
parents will foot the bill. Clearly any unforeseen damage is covered by
our insurance.
- If a scout’s behaviour is such that they are uncontrollable to the point
that it disrupts the entire group they will be informed that if the
behaviour persist they will be sent home. If the scout continues in this
course of conduct after being
warned then the parent's will be told to collect the scout from Italy
and return them to the UK at their own expense.
- The decision to remove a scout from the trip will be made by all
leaders, it will be a very final resort.
- This will hopefully never happen. However to safeguard the success of
the trip you must be made aware of our intentions.
