NIGHTS AWAY NOTIFICATIONS:

The district team MUST BE notified before any camping or residential event takes place, and the event may not take place until this has been approved (POR 9.2.3.7). It is recommended that 7 days notice should be given.

Nights Away Notifications are now completed using the new online membership system. You can find details of how to submit a Nights Away notification here: https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/volunteer-experience/digital-tool-guides/nights-away/

Unfortunately, no notification is provided to the district team when a NAN Form is submitted via the new system. Therefore if your NAN is short notice, or you want to include leaders who do not appear in the membership system for you, please send an email to nanforms@croydonscouting.org.uk and we will aim to expedite the NAN approval – however please remember everyone on the district team is a volunteer, and be respectful of their time, too!
