We are excited to hear that for England, National Youth Agency (NYA) has set our status to Green, in conjunction with The Scout Association (TSA). This means for Scouting in Water Orton we can return back to near normal operation. The factor that we must take into consideration is what our volunteers are comfortable with. Talking with the Leaders, we are returning to a more normal operation, with some caveats. So what are our changes?
Getting Back Safely – Key Points for Parents
We have useful information to help you and us when attending the session:
- Parents no longer need to pre-book a place for each meeting, we will take a register for all those attening.
- Parents can now walk up to Scout HQ, but please remain outside of Scout building unless invited into building by a leader.
- Temerature checks will remain for everyone attending, either Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
- Regular hand washing and sanitizing is required.
- We are still required to social distance, with space of one meter.
- Any member attending Scout section must bring a face covering with them, this is so if distancing cannot be maintanined we will need Scout to wear a mask.
- All adults are required to bring a face covering, and must wear one when social distancing cannot be maintained, or believe that it is appropriate to do so.
- We reserve the right to increase measures, if Leaders decide that risks are increasing
- NYA & TSA can decide to reverse Green Status, and we would be required to revert back toYellow, Amber or Red controls.
- Control to clean and check the building before and after each session remain.
