Nights Away Guidance

NANs – Nights Away Notifications

A Nights Away Notification (NAN) must be submitted through My Membership before any overnight residential activity takes place.

Anyone submitting a NAN must have an appropriate Nights Away Permit (or be working towards one). It is also recommended that the volunteer running the Nights Away has completed Module 16 – Running Residential Experiences.

International tripsĀ 

The protocol for international trips in Scouts works is more involved.

A Nights away notification must be submitted as part of the planning for a Visit Abroad.


 

In Wimbledon and Wandle

In Wimbledon and Wandle, all Nights Away Notifications must be submitted at least 14 days before the first day of the event.

Dave Bixby must also be contacted so the district can review the notification and ensure it has been received through the Membership System.

The form can be filled out in My Membership by clicking here

 

If you have any questions about how to access My Membership or how to complete a NAN please reach out to the District Leadership Team.
