Taking your girls away on a residential, overnight or for longer, is a great experience for you and the girls.
The Going Away With Scheme is a flexible qualification that allows Leaders to gain the appropriate qualification depending on the type of residential they are planning.
This scheme is open to members who have completed the Leadership Qualification, and currently hold an active role as a Leader, Commissioner or Adviser.
The scheme includes a basic Going Away With qualification that must be completed by all Leaders who are taking their girls away on a residential.
