Parents Area

All of our most important updates are emailed to parents and carers or shared by section leaders through our usual communication channels.

The new Parents Area is a practical home for the information families need most often while we rebuild the rest of the site. If there is something you cannot find yet, please use the contact page and we will point you in the right direction.

How we usually stay in touch

Important reminders, event details and section-specific information are normally shared by email, through Online Scout Manager and occasionally through our Group social channels. We may also send paper letters home when needed for a particular activity.

Keeping your details up to date

If any personal, medical or emergency contact information changes, please let your section leader know as soon as possible. Up-to-date records help us keep young people safe and make sure leaders can contact the right person when it matters.

Online Scout Manager

We use Online Scout Manager to manage much of the information for our sections. If you need access to the parent portal, or you have lost your login details, please speak to your section leader and they can help you regain access.

Absences, camps and activities

If your child cannot attend a meeting, camp or event, please let the section team know in good time. For activities away from the hall, we may also need extra medical, consent or collection information, so keep an eye on the messages sent out ahead of each event.

Any question about your child’s section, an absence or an activity — just ask and we’ll point you the right way.
