Scout activity risk assessment

[classic33]

Whose bikes will they be using?

You are one brave leader! Sounds like you will need a new accident report pad .

Pad! he'll need a book.
OR he could create a template, changing the names & injuries, before printing each one off. Before they start. Have a second game on top of the first.

Says the Cub Leader who took his cubs to the pub, taught them gambling & then planned on frightening them with a horror story, near a river.

Like your idea though.

 

[classic33]

You have them prefilled, but leaving the names blank, you can just pass them out as they're carried of the field of play.

 

[classic33]

OK I'll give you that, if you can now come up with a suitable title for the game played under that rule.

Golf!

What about these?

Seen them used on bikes, by scouts. And they're wood!

Just let them go for it, and bugger the rules. Nobody will die, they will all survive, and they'll look back on it as a whole heap of fun.

Filling in the Scout Associations accident form is no fun, I reckon you need to be very strict with the rules, add no bumping each other to them too.

Problem is that groups are being P.O.R.'d to death. Many that only a few years ago would have thrived are now in decline. Help from parents is almost non-existent. Those that actually want to help, find that the rules say they can't. Whilst for some you're a cheap after school activity class. If they're lucky, you'll even get them out of their way for weekends as well.
Maybe if the Association took a long look inwards and at the original reasons for the starting of the uniformed movement, things may have followed a different path.

Filling out such forms for incidents, where there were three districts that required a copy. Another for county and a separate one again for headquarters, was a pain. The site log also had to be filled. More if they were not in either of the three districts. And a separate one for their county, if from outside the county. The one for county couldn't be completed until the first three had been delivered and the one for headquarters, only after everything else had been completed by me.

I surprised the local MLTB Assessor years ago, when I took in my Form M Application & Approval. He could not believe that something like that, would be handed out in such a fashion. At the time we'd been talking about a group of scouts that got into trouble on Snowdon. How they were under equipped for the walk in front of them, and where the blame lay. It was sunny at the bottom!

User76 apologies for hijacking your thread for this rant.

I hope you have some good first aiders to hand and an ambulance on standby! My prediction is collar bones and wrists......

No injuries,.......[/QUOTE]
I can't say I'm not disappointed at being proven wrong

Have fun, that's all. Scouts is about the last place this namby health elf has been able to get into.
