A Return to INDOOR Face-to-Face Scouting on Monday 12th April 2021
Key changes to our current AMBER status
From Monday 12th April, the key changes to our current Amber status, as advised by The Scout Association, will be:
Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers will be able to meet indoors, with no legal limit on youth numbers; however you should keep it as ONE section meeting at a time with flexibility for smaller sections to join together if required. - (It’s important to remember that physical space will be limited and social distancing of 2 metres between everyone will be required. You should continue to take all measures to stop transmission and we would recommend most sections to continue meeting outdoors if they can).
- Scout Network may also meet indoors, but will be limited to maximum group sizes of 15. We continue to encourage outdoor meetings where you can.
- Adult activities can only take place outdoors and should follow the current Government guidance.
- Trips and visits are now accepted; however these should only be done where you cannot stay local to achieve the outcomes and each must be completed within a day as residential activities remain prohibited.
Further information will follow soon in April's edition of the County Newsletter, Have-u-Heard? and all advice on Getting Back Together Safely is available here on The Scout Association website.
Brilliant News - we are slowly getting there!!!
