The rules state that the judge should be the first to arrive at the tree. They also say that the group should go only as fast as the slowest cast member if memory serves me. What is an acceptable distance for the judge to get ahead of the rest of the cast? The vagueness of the wording “judge shall go to the tree first” is having some judges going to the tree several minutes prior to the rest of the cast getting there. To me, all members of the cast should be together and then the judge goes in from a short distance where everyone can tell what is happening. Am I wrong?

You are correct, everybody should arrive together with judge being the leader.
