Advice For Stewards On Some Problems That Occasionally Arise

Stewarding can be great fun. However from time to time problems can crop up. On this page you will find details on some of the problems that have previously occurred and some advice on how to get through them.

In all cases it is best to remember that as a Steward you are in charge of the meet. This does not mean you are alone. You can expect the support of your DA Committee, Region Council, Club Headquarters, National Council (Including if necessary the Club's Disciplinary Processes) and other members.

You are preparing the site and some campers arrive before the meet opens.

Fire

We strongly recommend and urge all units to have a fire bucket outside. The primary purpose for this is to extinguish a person who is on fire. The fire bucket can also be used to extinguish/control smaller fires. Fire buckets within easy reach of campers using a lit BBQ have often meant that minor burns were treated quickly and prevented from becoming major burns in many cases.
