1st Consett operates a 14 seat minibus which is available for hire by other Scout and Guide groups.
The minibus is a 2013 3.5 tonne ford transit.
All rear passenger seats have three point height adjustable seat belts.
We are pleased to offer our Scout minibus for use by other Scout groups.
To help cover the running costs of the vehicle, we kindly request a voluntary contribution. We suggest a contribution of £50 per day and £0.70 per mile covered. Please note that we provide the fuel; the suggested contribution helps cover maintenance, insurance, and other operational expenses.
We appreciate your understanding and support in maintaining this valuable resource for the benefit of all Scout groups.

The minibus does not require a D1 licence. Drivers must be over 21 years old and under 70 years old, with a full clean licence. All groups must have their own Section 19 minibus permit to use the vehicle. The minibus cannot be driven away without a valid permit displayed.
The minibus does have a towbar. Electrics are 13 pin Euro socket, so you may need an adapter. Drivers must make sure they have the correct licence before towing a trailer.
** External groups can only book the minibus 3 months in advance. **
