If you are a current guide this is also a good way to stop your rescue skills getting rusty.

Course Structure

The two theory nights are held at Barra Brui Scout Hall and includes a mix of theory presentations and practical components. These introduce you to the skills that you will then practise at an in hall practical day at Barra Brui, followed by on Cliff Practical at Lindfield Rocks.

This is not an overnight course.

The practical days run from 8am to 5pm.

Participants should be prepared to do a bit of pre-reading and “homework” between theory sessions and before the practical to get the most out of the course (although you can still succeed without that).

Assumed Knowledge

The course is suitable for Venturers, Rovers, and Leaders.

The course assumes completion of OAS Stage 4 or equivlant knowledge (at least 10 abseils accross two ocassions, ability to prussik, ability to operate a top belay). However we generally get a broad range of skill levels from people who have recently completed their Safe Participant/OAS 4 course right through to very experienced people who are getting up to speed on Scout’s NSW standards for rigging & rescue.

Recomended Pre-Reading

Additional readings will be sent out a week before the course, and after each practical session.
