EXPEDITION PLACE SELECTION CRITERIA

SCS expeditions are often over-subscribed in terms of volunteer places available. Only current SCS Registered Supporters are eligible to apply for places on expeditions.

The Society tries to ensure that all Registered Supporters have a fair chance of gaining a place on expeditions.

Once the 'essential skills' places have been filled the considerations listed below will be applied to decide the priority on which places are offered.

  • Registered Supporters who have been accepted for a past expedition that was cancelled.
  • Registered Supporters who for no fault of their own had to pull out of an expedition at the last minute so may not have received a refund on their administration contribution.
  • Those who remain continual uninterrupted supporters, and don't just join when they want to be eligible to apply for an expedition.
  • Anyone who has applied for past expeditions but did not secure a place.
