The pack may also be divided into separate groups each with a leader
Children should walk in pairs and ware fluorescent jackets so they are visible to traffic.
The best route for walking should be worked out prior to the event to make sure there is a good path to walk on and to avoid major roads if possible.
Each group leader needs to know who is picking each child up to ensure safety for the children.
There needs to be a clear procedure in place for parents picking children up.
