Attendance policy

In Scouting we aim to teach skills for life by attending weekly meetings, camps, events and occasionally working independently. Therefore, we ask that our members attend at least 3 meetings out of every 4. If this is not going to be possible please talk to your child’s section leader. Maybe Scouting isn’t right for your child at this time. During your child’s time with us we will offer them overnight experiences. Beavers begin with a sleepover or a short stay at Group camp with our Cubs and Scouts. As they grow older the time away increases, until Scouts are offered a week at camp in the Summer. Please encourage your child to take up some of these opportunities as they are wonderful times for your child to grow in independence and learn amazing life skills with our great team of leaders.
