Help & Advice
If you are stuck with any part of coming back together safely, please speak to your Group Scout Leader, District Explorer Scout Commissioner, or the District Commissioner.
Financial Support
Please make sure that parents and carers aware that support is available for those who are struggling to pay their subs. Give them chance to confidentially discuss the matter with their child’s Leader.
Group Executives should help where they can – especially those who’ve received rates grants – and offer flexible ways of payment or waive certain fees altogether where there is a genuine need.
If Groups are struggling District can offer some support if other sources of funding (see UK and Wales support) are unavailable.
Explorer Scouts
The previous restriction on number of sessions that could be attended per week has now been lifted, so Explorer Scouts CAN attend their Unit and help as a Young Leader in the same week.
