All our admin is done via Online Scout Manager (OSM). You will receive an email inviting you to log on and confirm your child’s contact details. On here you can see the current programme, any badgework completed or in progress, upcoming activities or camps, and notices that you might be interested in. You can also make payments for one-off activities or regular subscriptions, and you will receive emails to your chosen contact email to remind you of events or due payments.
4 Week Challenge
If you’d like to volunteer with us, but you aren’t sure if you want to commit, then don’t worry. We offer a 4-Week Challenge for new volunteers, with no obligation beyond that.
Week 1 – Come and see us at whichever section you think you’d be interested in. Observe, join in if you like, have a chat with the other volunteers and young people.
Week 2 – Come again, armed with the knowledge that you’ll be lending a hand and joining in with the activities. This is going to be the most fun you’ve had in a long time!!
Week 3 – If you’re up for it, we’ll give you a task to plan and carry out. This might be to run a game or simple activity, or anything else that you’re comfortable with giving a go. This could well be the scariest thing you’ll ever do, but could also be the most rewarding.
Week 4 – Crunch time! If you’re still interested, then we’ll have a chat about the past few weeks and how you feel about where you want to be. Congratulations! You just volunteered!!
