Nights Away Notification

This form provides the information a Commissioner requires to approve an event to take place (i.e. POR 9.1b/9.1c). Each Group attending a Nights Away event (including County or District events) will need to submit this information.

For all Nights Away experiences all of the information below should be with your District Commissioner (or appointee) 7 days before the event (in normal circumstances).

For all Nights Away held at facilities not owned or operated by Scouting, such as public or commercial campsites and youth hostels, the host District Commissioner must also receive a copy of the information, normally this should be 14 days before the event. Where an expedition is taking you across a number of Districts or Counties this information should be sent to the County Secretary(s) instead.

You can obtain details of the host District Commissioner from the Scout Information Centre – Tel 0845 3001818 email info.centre@scouts.org.uk.

If you are using Scout owned or operated facilities there is no requirement to complete the Host DC’s details only the Scout campsite details.
