Do you need Adult help in your Group/District? 769 hits
Silly question really! Well here is a list of Hampshire's Voluntary Bureaux who have lists of people on their books who are willing to do voluntary work. Remember that they will still need to be the subject of normal Scouting checks. You may not find too many Leaders here, but you should be able to find people willing to be chairmen, treasurers or other administrative role.

Insurances for Groups, Districts and County Sections 851 hits
All Scout Groups, Districts and County Sections under POR have to maintain adequate insurance cover and undertake an annual review. Scout Insurance Services at Lancing will send Treasurers their concise reference Pack showing in very comprehensive detail all the insurances which are available and their terms. It is strongly recommended that all Group and District Treasurers, who are the individuals responsible under POR, should obtain the Lancing Pack, even if they don't insure at present through Lancing. A check can then be made to ensure that all the necessary insurance arrangements are entered into, and the result of the annual review should be reported to an Executive Committee.

Suspected Drug Abuse - Advice to Scouters 629 hits
Although all Leaders hope that they will never have to deal with the situation involving the use by a Scout of illegal drugs, the fact is that many of us may have to do just that. No two situations are ever exactly the same and the course of action taken by the Scouter must ultimately be his or her decision. The purpose of this advise is to give the Scouter some information and guidance to help him or her to make the decisions that have to be made, and to inform the Scouter that they will be supported by the Scout Movement in making those decisions.
