Nights Away Permit Scheme
Notification
and the ‘Home’ District Commissioner
There is no longer a requirement to supply programme and other information
three months ahead of an event, as with the Form PC system. However, the
‘home’ District Commissioner (or nominee) must be provided with basic
information about all overnight activities involving Members under 18
years before a nights away event takes place. Similarly, the County
Commissioner (or nominee) is to be notified of Scout Network nights away
events.
Notification should include all the information required on the Notification
form. This may be conveyed by post, email, or by using the
on-line form
available, to the Lonsdale Nights Away Scheme Administrator.
Notification should be made by the event organiser.
In the case of Beaver Scout or Cub Scout events, at least seven days notice
is required. Less notice is permitted for Scout, Explorer Scout or Scout
Network events, but the aim should be to give about one week’s notice.
Copies of the Notification form (NAN) are available on request from the
Scout Information Centre. Alternatively, they can be downloaded
in Microsoft Word
here and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format
here.
