Rules & Regulations of the 1st Standlake Sea Scouts Troop. 1. All Scouts are expected to attend St Georges Day Parade in Witney (always keep the afternoon of the nearest Sunday to 23rd April free). 2. All Scouts are expected to attend the Remembrance Sunday service in Standlake (always keep the morning of the Sunday nearest to the 11th November free). 3. We have a very high standard and ask that all Scouts turn up to all meetings looking smart and in the correct uniform (See Scoutbase for information on uniform). 4. A high standard of good behaviour is expected at all times. It is advisable for Scouts to turn up ten minutes before the start time as it is important for us to start on time as we often have a tight programme. 5. During the summer season parents are welcome to stay / watch and offer encouragement and to have a drink in the W.O.S.C. club house, around 8.30 we usually have a barbecue which is quite a social event (also it can be quite nice to go for a walk around the lake). 6. We ask parents in the summer season to help load canoes and put away sailing boats, kit etc after the session. 7. At least one parent must attend the safety talk/AGM (this will always be held on the last Thursday of April). 8. The Scout group likes and needs parental support and in the forms below we ask how you would be willing to help, we do expect help at least for one fundraising event a year and support and attendance at as many other fundraising events as possible. Fundraising means your child gets to use better equipment, has more fun and interesting outings and that camps and events are cheaper to all and sometimes free. 9. Scout subs can be paid in 3 ways, each month (by direct debit)£15, 3 instalments of £60 at the beinging of each term, or £180 for the year.Please pay the Treasurer or Skip at the meetings. 10. Please let us know if you cannot attend Scouts. If a Scout misses three consecutive meetings without a good reason or letting a leader know it will be presumed that he/she has left and the place will be offered to the next person on the list. 11. All Leaders and Instructors have the right to refuse to take a Scout out on an activity if it is felt that it is not safe to do so. 12. Non-compliance of any of the rules above could lead to your child being asked to leave.
