How can I Transfer a value from one script to another in a simple way?

I am new to Lua coding, I have a fair understanding of python which I can see some similarities between the two and I would like some help to create a mechanic in my game.

I would like to transfer the value "mins" from this script which counts how many minutes the player has been in the game:

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)

    local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
    stats.Name = "leaderstats"
    local player = newPlayer
    mins = Instance.new("IntValue")

    mins.Name = "Minutes Riding"
    mins.Value = 0


    mins.Parent = stats

    stats.Parent = newPlayer

    while true do
        mins.Value = mins.Value + 1
        if mins.Value >= 60 and mins.Value < 120 then
            player.TeamColor = game.Teams["2nd Class"].TeamColor
        else if mins.Value >= 120 and mins.Value < 180 then
            player.TeamColor = game.Teams["1st Class"].TeamColor
        else if mins.Value >= 180 and mins.Value < 240 then
            player.TeamColor = game.Teams["Business Class"].TeamColor
        else if mins.Value >= 300 then
            player.TeamColor = game.Teams["Non-Stop Rider"].TeamColor
        wait(0.01)

        end
        end
        end
        end

end
end


game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

into this script so that I can enable players who have played a certain time to be able to use a teleport door to help them reach the next stage:

tele = script.Parent.Parent.TeleSettings.Position.Value

lvl = 60


function onTouched(hit)

player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

        if (This is where I would like the value to go) >= lvl then

            hit.Parent.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(tele)

        end
    end
end 

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

I'm not 100% on things such as remote events and the difference in script types, but I am happy to give all options a go if I can understand them! Thanks a lot
