Arriving at Scout HQ

This is where the largest impact of the changes will be, dropping off and picking up your young person. We understand that this may be more strict that at school for example, but this is our process currently.

Parking and Cars

As part of the risk assessment, we are stopping all vehicles using the driveway to access Scout HQ 15 minutes before or after any Beaver, Cub or Scout Sessions, including Scouting Activities at other times. Please note this does not apply to residents who live along the driveway, so please be mindful of the drive.

Please do not block any local resident driveways if you decide to drive to Scout HQ.

We advise that all visitors use the railway car park and walk to Scout HQ.

Drop Off

Social distancing must be maintained at all times, in line with government requirements.

Only attend if you have booked on via OnlineScoutManager, as without this being completed, your young person will not be able to attend the session.

ONLYLeaders and Young People are allowed passed the first gate on the Scout HQ drive
