Nights Away Permit - Information and application.

The Nights Away Permit is intended to show that a Leader is suitable to take young people camping and that the camping is safe and enjoyable.

We are collecting together a database of who holds a permit and its duration. 

The permit is approved by the District Commissioner on the recommendation of the Nights Away Advisor; a permit lasts for up to five years and is limited by the areas the permit covers.
