Is the game for members only?

We haven't published the rules so it's currently only available to be run by us...

That makes this almost completely uninteresting then.

Why not publish?

I've seen videos of large-scale games where - for example - you simulate WW1 with each major power represented by a team of 5 adults in separate rooms, with the game organisers running the underlying simulation, limiting each team's visibility of other teams and the simulation.

Perhaps this is such a game, where you can't play without 40 people for 2 days - and hence the rules aren't in enough demand to make publication practical?

From the article, it seems the game is an in-house product that the Scout team must conduct with trained facilitators and some special software. It doesn't sound like something you can download or sign in to play.
