Safe from Harm
It’s the policy of The Scout Association to safeguard the welfare of all members by protecting them from physical, sexual and emotional harm and neglect. We aim to follow the following guidelines to ensure the personal safety of young people:
Website content should not easily identify young people
- Do not use young people’s full names
- Do not give out young people’s email addresses or other contact details
- Do not label or identify photography of young people
- Obtain parent/guardian permission for the use of a young person’s image
- If possible, avoid using names at all or shuffle the names if they coincide with photography
If you see that any content breaks any of these guidelines, please contact us.

Cookies
Some current or future functionality on the site may involve saving your name, email address and website in cookies. Some plugins may also use cookies. These are for your convenience and are generally removed within a year.
If this website contains a login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Google’s reCaptcha
To help avoid spam admissions for our forms, we use the Google ReCaptcha V2 service. Google ReCaptcha uses cookies to track the user’s behaviour across the website. This is done under legitimate interest – to keep the website and any data held secure and to minimise any additional administration work done by our volunteers. If the reCaptcha service is unable to verify whether you are a legitimate user filling in a form, you will be challenged to complete a series of actions to prove you are not a robot.
If you do not wish to use our forms because of this, you can email a member of the team found on the Get in Touch page and we can admit your data to the system without this.
