Waiting list
We aim to get young people in to sections as quickly as we can but we are limited with places we can provide due to volunteers and the space available at our hut, Sadly this does mean our group can be more popular than we have spaces, so we use a Waiting list that is linked to our Online Scout Manager (OSM) system, this allows us to manage people waiting for places and easily transfer there basic information to our sections,
Our waiting list policy
We find that our section leaders know their sections best so there is some leaders discretion when using our waiting list but as a general rule we follow these principals.
If there are members who have been in a section and are of the age to join the next section these members are automatically entitled to the space before we look at the waiting list.
We usually use a strait forward first come basis but there are some occasions where we give priority to people joining our waiting list such as existing members who are transferring from outside the district (usually due to moving home) as well as siblings and looked after children.
