Nights Away Notification



A Nights Away Notification 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 (even a County or District event) will need to submit this information.

For all Nights Away experiences all of the information below should be with your District Commissioner (or appointee) seven 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 fourteen 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

You can submit the required information electronically by selecting your District from the list below, then completing and submitting the form.

Please select your District:
l Axe   l City of Bath l Bristol South l
l Brunel l Cabot l Cotswold Edge l
l Gordano l Kingswood l Wansdyke l
