Why do we collect personal data?
As a scout group, we are committed to preparing more young people with life skills by delivering an inspiring programme. To achieve this, we have a legitimate interest in collecting personal data so that our leaders have all the information they need to provide scouting activities safely and appropriately. The personal data can be for members, parents, carers, leaders, or helpers.

We have details such as name, address, phone number, email address, IP address, date of birth, disabilities, health and dietary requirements. This information will include children’s personal and health information. We also have the following financial data: subscription payments, event payments, and gift aid statements.
Who do we share your information with?
We may share your data with other parts of The Scout Association and store it on Online Scout Manager, a tool we use to manage membership, subscriptions, and the programme. We will not share your data with non-scouting individuals or organisations unless legally required or you ask us to do so.
How long do we hold your data?
