The Equinox Challenge

As per the Equinox Challenge Rules:
• Teams must consist of no less than 4, and no more than 7 members, all of whom must be aged between 10½ and 14½ on Saturday 27th February 2010. [N.B. It is at the Scout leaders’ discretion whether younger Scouts are competent enough to participate safely.]
• One Scout MUST hold the Emergency Aid Award at stage 3 or higher; or one team member appointed as the first aider must be able to demonstrate first aid competently to the organisers upon registration to the event.
• Each team must carry one mobile phone during the hunt, switched on, and register the mobile phone number at registration on Saturday morning, when it should be fully charged and wrapped in a plastic bag.
• Each team must be punctual to registration on the event morning for a kit check and team briefing.
• Teams must be self sufficient during the event, and must carry everything with them during the hunt.
• Teams will be issued with kit lists prior to the event and a team kit check will be carried out before the event begins. If a team does not have the compulsory kit listed, they will be unable to participate for safety reasons.
• One leader or nominated adult per troop must be available for the duration of the event, and remain in the area where the event is taking place. (Groups can deputise this to leaders from a neighbouring group if necessary, but this needs to be brought to the attention of the organising team.)
