Six years ago I proposed a solution to the concerns you expressed to be applied at the other Council owned camp.  There the camp driving policy was more restrictive and the roads even less well maintained.  The attached Driver's Competence Award concept was submitted to Council and ignored.  I even had a Scouter with a CDL willing to teach the courses.

It's a great idea and good on you for trying but liability is the issue. They are in no authoritative position to confer any kind of credentialling and if an incident occurs it opens a can of worms that could only lead to enhanced liability. It's easier to just say park it and drive in.

Your council is "supposed" to have an Enterprise Risk Management Committee that should review this...

Good Luck,
