Taking a Scouting group abroad
If you are taking a group of young people abroad, then you need to look at the information in the factsheet Thinking of Going Away (FS260018). It provides an outline of the areas you will need to consider.
Do not forget to get a copy of the Visits Abroad Folder from your Regional Adviser. This contains Form TA which must be submitted before travelling abroad.
