Membership

Hi all! As you are aware we are not able to hold our regular meetings and so I am not collecting subs from you (Good!). This means however that I cannot pay capitation for you and so your membership of the Scout Association will lapse (Not good!).
In particular it means that you will no longer be covered by Scout insurance for scouting activities unless you formally join a different Explorer or Young Leader unit.
You can do this easily - I suggest Monkmoor or Rea Valley are good and I can give you contact info to get in touch.
I can still support you in DofE if you are working towards an award, and you are still registered for DofE, but be aware that the DofE insurance is through scouts so if you are still doing DofE skills/volunteering etc you should sign up with a Scout Unit.
For ongoing shooting and hiking activities you need to be in a Scout Unit.
