Privacy Notice

What is this Privacy Notice?

This Privacy Notice sets out what we do with Personal Data and what you can expect from us as part of our obligations when processing this Personal Data.

What data are we gathering?

We may hold Personal Data (including Sensitive Personal Data) about members, parents/guardians and volunteers. Members include the young people who attend our groups.

We believe it is important to be open and transparent about how we will use your Personal Data. Information we may hold includes the following:

  • Name and contact details;
  • Age/date of birth;
  • Details of any health conditions;
  • Race or ethnic background and native languages;
  • Religion.

Why do we collect this information?

We use this information to communicate with you and to carry out our obligations as Members of the Scout Association and Scout Leaders. We also have a responsibility to keep information about you, both during your membership and afterwards (due to our safeguarding responsibilities and also to help us if you leave or re-join).

In addition, we may collect data for registration to events, including nights away. In some cases this data will be Sensitive Personal Data, which we ask for to allow us to provide appropriate care for members whilst under our supervision. The list of activities we carry out as part of Scouting that may require the use of Personal Data include:

  • To enable us to provide a voluntary service for the benefit of the public;
  • To manage our volunteers;
  • To manage our membership records;
  • To update you on events;
  • To conduct surveys on our performance;
  • For financial accounting;
  • To fundraise for the Scout Group;
  • To process Gift Aid applications.

How do we gather data?

We gather data through a variety of methods, these include:

  • Face-to-face communication and over the phone;
  • Contact form on our website or by email;
  • Waiting lists for new members;
  • Joiners forms;
  • Event registration forms.

When will we delete this data?

We may keep information for different periods of time for different purposes as required by law or best practice.

As far as membership information is concerned, to make sure of continuity (for example leavers and then re-joiners) and to carry out our legal responsibilities relating to safeguarding young people, we keep membership information throughout the membership and for a term after it ends.

Who has access to this data and who do we share it with?

Only those members who need membership information to carry out their role have access to that information.

We may share membership data with other local scouting groups where this activity is required to deliver the scouting group obligations, such as stand in leaders or at district events. We also share data within The Scout Association. We do not store credit card details, nor do we share data with third parties without your permission unless required by law or a medical emergency.

Where will the data be stored?

We take data security seriously. Where possible paper records are stored in a locked cupboard. When taken out and about, for example to a scouting activity or camp, they are stored securely on site or kept secure by a scout leader. Our online membership records are kept secure using Online Scout Manager and where electronic records are kept these are kept using a secure storage system.

  • Data is accurate – we must keep your data accurate;
