Bases must have at least 4 staff members, one member must have HLTAID003 - Provide First Aid qualification (Formerly Senior First Aid). Base staff must have at least one vehicle on site, with a suitably licensed driver.

Whilst a 4WD isn't necessary, it is recommended, as your base may be in a difficult to access area.

Bases can be anything involving our theme Mission Seusspossible. For example you could choose any Dr Seuss movie such as The Lorax or How the Grinch Stole Christmas, or perhaps a Dr Seuss book such as Green Eggs and Ham or Oh the Places You'll Go.

Each team must be scored on the components of teamwork, planning, attitude and execution, so ideally the base involves an opportunity for all these areas. A scoring guide will be provided closer to the date.

Base activities should be roughly 15-30 minutes long and must involve the whole team of 4-6 participants. To make sure teams don’t wait too long, you must have enough staff and equipment to run the activity for two teams simultaneously.

If you're looking to be involved but haven't got an idea, reach out to our team at mi.activities@warovers.com.au , they can help you get started or find a base for you to work with.

There are several opportunities to incorporate aspects of the program into your activities. Below are three areas in particular which you can use to incorporate the program.

Challenge Areas

Challenge areas can be used to support the planning of your base activities. Please keep in mind your activity should only fall under one challenge area. Below are a few key words from each area to prompt your ideas.

• Adventurous

• Environment

Creative

• Expression

• Creating

• Inventing
  

Personal Growth

• Interests
  

Community

Outdoor Adventure Skills

Depending on the activity you choose to run there may be several opportunities to incorporate OAS into your base design. Particularly the core areas of Bushcraft, Bushwalking and Camping.

Special Interest Areas

When doing special interest areas (SIAs) at an event level the focus should be placed on creating the ground work for the participant to take away and complete at a later stage.

The Organising Committee will provide a budget of $100 to cover expenses and base related costs. Ensure you keep your receipts as you will need to submit them after the event for reimbursement. Please note any expenses over the $100 limit will not be able to be reimbursed.

If you need assistance putting together an idea, transporting gear or finding more members – please don’t hesitate to contact the Activities Directors, Chloe Lock and Emma at mi.activities@warovers.com.au

Each base team will be required to provide the following equipment at minimum: - water container with enough water for base staff and participants - first aid kit - rubbish bin - two shelters at minimum (one for staff, one for waiting participants and gear) Plus any additional equipment to run your base and be comfortable.

Campfires are not allowed on bases at Mission Impossible 19.

If you've got an idea, get in touch with our team!

Once you've done that you'll just need to register through ScoutMap. When you register please register as a team and start your team name with "Base -".

If you're not a Scouts WA member already you will need to fill out a seperate form to register, which can be found on the "Staff" page of our site.

We’ll be running two base staff briefings, please make sure at least one person from each base attends one of these briefings. Depending on demand we will also run a site visit where we will be able to show you where your base will be located. Whilst this isn’t compulsory, we recommend one person attend at a minimum.

To prevent unnecessary set up and pack down, base staff will camp at their bases.

All base locations will have close-by road access.

Base staff are welcome to bring their children for the weekend.

If they are a registered youth member, they will need to complete a Y3. If they are a non-registered youth, they will need to complete a Y13.

Please contact our admin team for more information and help with this.
