- You can choose to attend on a Tuesday or Thursday night. The meetings will run from 6.30pm to 8.00pm on both nights.
- The activities will be mainly outdoors but we will be using the toilets indoors and will use the two meeting rooms if the weather is bad.
- We will not be wearing uniform for the first few weeks. Members need to come dressed in appropriate clothes to be outside, whatever the weather
- All activities will be covid secure and socially distanced.
- The Tuckshop will not be open for the first few weeks. Everyone needs to bring a full drinks bottle with them.
- For a member under 18 to attend these activities a parent/carer must have completed the online permission form.

Thanks everyone who joined us on Wednesday for our virtual meeting about Staying Safe online. We were very impressed that many of you already had a good knowledge of this topic and with the sensible way you talked about the subject. I hope you learnt something new at the meeting. Woody says that despite his many years on the internet he picked up some new tips.
This Wednesday we will be enjoying an online fun & games night. The following week, back by popular demand, we will be having another game of ‘Among Us’.
Hopefully these will be our last two virtual meetings before we return to face to face Scouting at the Scout Hut.
