Attendance Policy

Scouting is not designed to be “dipped in and out of” but rather is a continual programme of development, and requires a level of commitment. We ask all young people to make a commitment to attend every week unless they have a good reason.

Our leaders put a lot of time and effort into putting the programme together, and having young people drop out at short notice, or no notice, can be a major headache. Therefore we ask that parents let us know in advance if their son or daughter cannot attend.

Failure to attend for three consecutive weeks without good reason (e.g. illness / family holiday / school event) or regular non attendance without notice will result in the young person being asked to leave the group and their place being offered to the next person on the waiting list. Any subs, trip fees, etc will be non refundable.
