Before affiliating you to Scouts, we’ll need to make sure you have the below so we can fulfil Safety and Safeguarding requirements:

1. A full adult Scout volunteer role. Unfortunately, we’re not able to accept none members.

2. A valid disclosure.

3. The experience needed to support young people on their expeditions.

We’ll be looking for evidence of a current/valid Scout Activity Permit, or evidence of similar qualifications for hillwalking, cycling or travelling on water. If you’re hoping to become an assessor and you don’t have suitable permits or qualifications, but believe you’ve got the experience for the role, make sure you contact your County DofE Lead to set up a meeting. You can then discuss your experience and suitability for this role, and they’ll complete and submit this Endorsement Form on your behalf.
