·     A Managing Medications form must accompany any youth member requiring regular medications. These are available from the scouter-in-charge.

Penknives
These items may only be brought on activities with the prior knowledge & permission of the Scouter-In-Charge and must be done so with due regard to the laws governing the ownership and carrying of knives.

·    Penknives may only be carried by youth members on occasions when “they have reason to do so” ie taking part in a scouting activity including weekly meetings.

Penknives must be transported to and from specified activities in the bottom of your bag/rucsac.

 
·       Penknives must be surrendered to a responsible adult/scouter-in-charge for safe keeping while not in use.
