Barry Dallas (Group Scout Leader) Moat Hall Lodge Stoke Road Lower Layham email: [email protected] Ipswich IP7 5RB Tele: 01473 824475 Application Entrance Policy You’re Commitment:  As a parent of a child in the Scout association you are automatically a member of the Scout Council for the Group.  A group is led by a Group scout leader and managed by a Group Executive Committee.  You will be expected to attend the AGM.  You will be expected to support the Group and abide by the Group polices.

General: 1. Priority will be given to those who already have a sibling or parents that help the within the Group. 2. If the number of children on the waiting list for any reason is greater than the number of places available, first consideration will be given to those living in the benefice of Hadleigh, Layham and Shelley. 3. The order of entry will be at the GSL’s discretion, generally based on the date of application as children become of age . 4. Priority is given to existing invested members moving between the sections. 5. Those who have been on the waiting list for Beavers or any other section but were not offered a place will have their application forwarded to the next higher section. 6. I am sure you will agree that the more input children receive – either directly, such as specialist skills, Technical know how etc, or indirectly such as fund raising, catering etc. the more they will benefit from their scouting. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of Your Involvement.

Headquarters: Hadleigh Sea Scout Group owns its own headquarters, Osborne Hall , You will be expected to support maintenance activities.

…………………………….on a regular / Monthly / occasional basis Please fill this in it may well help with a successful application Remembering that each and every adult within Scouting is a volunteer it may be that we are not always able to accept every application to the group.

I, as Group Scout Leader, have an undertaking to make sure that each and every adult volunteering within in my Troop feels both comfortable and able to deal with every situation that they face, and indeed that every young person within the group is safe and able to participate.

It may be that some of our volunteers have the appropriate training or qualifications and can provide the necessary support for specific conditions, physical, medical or otherwise, but this can in no way be guaranteed.

This section of the application form therefore gives you the opportunity to mention any specific needs or disability that your child may have. If there are any other delicate matters that you feel we should be aware of please note those below also or contact me by email......

I have read and understood the entry policy for the Group and enclose my child’s completed application form.

I have no objection to filling out a CRB form, to family personnel information being kept electronically on a database, or to my child being photographed on or for Scout activities and occasional inclusion on social media sites.
