POR Rule 9.2 requires a Nights Away Notification (NAN) to be sent in at least 1 week before camping at a Scout campsite. This is now done through My Membership on Scouts.org.uk
To guarantee we have time to review (and approve) your NAN please submit them at least 2 weeks in advance – or even longer for large events or complex risk assessments.
As well as getting permission from parents, you also need to let the District know that it's happening (and that you've got ratios / safety covered.)
It also helps us to shout about all the different activities that are going on in Hackney and Tower Hamlets!
Accidents happen, but if a young person or an adult has to go to hospital, doctor, or dentist as a result of a Scouting activity (even if it's after the activity) then this needs to be reported to HQ.

To report "near misses" visit scouts.org.uk/nearmiss
When young people complete their Chief Scout Awards our County puts on a presentation evening for them several times a year to recognise their achievement.
ℹ Event Invites:
Please register your Young People as early as possible in order to get them on the invite list for the next ceremony...Our district is working towards:
A 12 month rolling programme of events for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers
A training calendar Young Leaders for the whole school year

We need leaders to help run these as it's not the ADCs' role to do this.
