• Extensive experience in dealing with serious incidents and responding to them quickly

Examples of Use with DofE Groups:

• Once monitored a group who went off course by almost 2km, being monitored all the way, but realising their mistake, properly navigated back onto the correct route. No intervention necessary and a hand-clap on getting back on course by themselves.  Of course, had the traditional checkpoints been used, then not having seen the group, would have led to the leaders scurrying around looking for them.  In this case, there was no concern, just careful monitoring.
• Another example was a Gold practice group navigating the Devon footpaths before they hit Dartmoor, and incorrectly entering the wrong field, looking for a non-existent exit, before finally after a couple of laps of the field, getting back on track by themselves. In both cases no intervention was necessary, but each time the group were being monitored. The Devon group came back asking to be shown where they had gone wrong and that was easily remedied by showing the track of their movements.
