Network Agreement

I understand I am not in a leadership or supervisory role over Explorer Scouts.

I understand I cannot be be responsible for Explorers, and leaders should not ask me to look after or manage them. If they do, I will politely decline and let Sid know.

If something feels off, I’ll flag it to a leader—no pressure to deal with it myself.

I understand Network and Explorer sleeping spaces will be separate—and that’s not flexible.

I’ll respect the privacy and space of others, including leaders and Explorers.

I’ll chat and hang out in joint spaces, but I won’t take charge of Explorer groups or activities.

I’ll leave discipline and decisions to the leaders—they’ve got that bit covered.

I won’t drink around Explorers, or where it’s visible or inappropriate.

I’ll follow the Scout Association’s Green Card. If I'm not sure what it is, I'll ask for one, or look it up.

I will never buy or supply alcohol/substances for anyone under 18.

I understand that if I do, I may be asked to leave the trip and make my own way home at my own cost.

Being over 18 means I might get the chance to do extra bit of activities, not available to Explorers - great!

I understand some opportunities for Network and Adults ONLY may not be risk assessed or part of the Scout permit system. I’ll use my own judgement, assess the risks, and only take part if I feel confident and safe, and I can always say “no thanks” or step back—no explanation needed.

I’ll speak up if I’m unsure about boundaries or feel something’s not quite right.

I understand that keeping these boundaries clear builds trust - for leaders, parents, and Explorers.

If something serious happens, I may be asked to contact home and arrange my own way back immediately.

I’ll avoid posting/sending pictures/videos of Explorer on Social Media. Parents may not have given permission

This agreement isn’t about rules—it’s about making sure we all enjoy the trip, keep clear boundaries, and support each other as young adults in Scouting. I get that, and I’m in.
