PHOTOS & FOOTAGE

The various sections regularly take part in a wide range of activities, organised at a Group, District and County level. Many of these involve challenging activities, which the youngsters involved often like evidence of to prove that they have taken part.

At Group events, it is relatively easy for the Leaders in charge to take suitable and agreeable photographs of the children involved. At larger events, such as District or County events, it is not necessarily possible for the Leader to dictate what photographs might be taken or the
specific end use of the photographs. However, as the photographs would be taken as part of a Scouting event they would need to comply with The Scout Association’s Safeguarding Policy, as would photographs or video images taken during Group events.

Please ask if you have any questions concerning this. If we wish to use photos for any other purposes, we will seek your permission.

We Use Social Media

To stay in touch with you and share what your children have been learning and achieving we use social media channels. The Group has a public Facebook group where we share news and information about the Group to our local community which we love you to join. We also use Whatsapp to enable easy contact with parents on trips and activities to ensure quick communication with you. You will be invited to your Section Private Facebook Page where your Leader will share news and information. You will also be invited to your Section Whatsapp Group where Leaders will post updates on visits and information.
