Welcome back to our first meeting of the new term on Wednesday 14th September
We will be tracking in Graves Park so come dressed for the weather. We will give out the new Programme and asking for your subs.
Parents - This term we are short of leaders if you can join the happy team let us know so we can sort out the paperwork.
Note for your diary: Saturday 17th November we will be having a Beaver Fun Day at Trippet Lane meeting rooms, above the Scout Shop. This is a city wide event open to all Beavers from Sheffield.
Parents are invited to bring their Beaver to this event, details nearer the time.
The Scout Association's Child Protection policy is
known as the 'Young People First' policy. It's often referred to as the
"yellow card" policy because of the pocket sized reminder card all
adults are asked to keep and carry with them.
The 'Young People
First' policy is held up as an example of best practice and praised by the
child protection agencies. The Scout Association also enjoys the confidence and
trust of thousands of parents who each week place their children in our care.
All adults that have a role in Scouting, including
leaders, assistants, helpers, skills instructors, committee members and
occasional helpers undertake full enhanced CRB checks.
In addition, those
taking an active and regular part in running Scouts, are interviewed by the
District Appointments Committee to assess whether they are suitable to
undertake the role that they are working in.
There are regular
training courses for leaders detailing child protection issues, how to manage these issues, and what to do to ensure that all children in Scouting are safe.
