Parent Portal
OSM
Our group uses Online Scout Manager to manage the records for all members of our Scout Group, including the youth members. When a young person joins our Scout Group, parents/guardians are invited to create an OSM account. It is essential that details for all members are kept up to date on OSM, including contact details for parents/guardians.
The Scout Association Membership System
Membership records for all adult members of the Scout Association are kept on the Scout Association's membership system. Anyone requiring a DBS check (e.g. all adult leaders and any parents/guardians attending an overnight event like a camp) will have a record on this system. Profiles on this system must be updated before a DBS check can be initiated.
The Scout Association Website
There is extensive information available on the Scout Association's website about policy, uniform, badges etc.
Information specific to different sections is linked in each of the areas on this website for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
The Scout Store
Scout Store is owned by the Scouts and all of the profits go directly back into Scouting. They are the dedicated and official uniform retailer for scouting, including Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. This is also where we buy badges, certificates and neckers from, but these are only available for purchase by scout leaders.
The Scout Association Discount Codes
There are various discount codes available for members of the Scout Association. Some are for leaders but some are available to youth members and their parents.
