The Nights Away Permit Scheme promotes quality residential and camping experiences. It shows that all those leading Nights Away events for young people within Scouting have the skills, experience and personal qualities required to take young people away safely.

What Is The Permit Scheme?

Everyone who leads a nights away event for young people within Scouting is required to hold a Nights Away Permit for the type of event they are running. Although managed locally, the Nights Away Permit Scheme is a national scheme, so once gained, a permit will allow you to run a nights away event in any District or Region.
