Where can I find the badge requirements?

What Discounts are available to Members of the Scout Association?

How do I roll a group scarf?

First of all lay it flat on a clean surface.

Roll the scarf tightly from the centre smoothing out the ends as you go; try to maintain the scarf tightness consistent and keep rolling until the triangle formed by the end of the scarf and the part rolled up is about 4 inches long.

Now you just have to add a woggle or tie the friendship knot to hold it in place… Well done: you’re ready to go!

What is the Group policy on Mobile Phones?

The short answer is that members should not be using Mobile Phones during any Scouting Activities, and that where possible, Mobile Phones should be left at home.

The full Mobile Phone Policy is available to read here.
