NANs – Nights Away Notification

This form needs to be completed for all over-night activities including sleep overs at your own headquarters and events run by either District or County.

For international events, refer to Form VA but please submit a NAN form for our records.

Now that transformation is complete in the organisation, all Nights Away notifications must be completed through My Membership accessible through the digital system on scouts.org.uk. This form needs to be completed a minimum of 14 days prior to the start of the event.

The NAN can be filled out in My Membership by going to:

Programme Support > Nights Away Notifications

If you have any questions about how to access the digital system please reach out to the District Leadership Team.

POR Rule 9.57 states that the home Commissioner MUST BE notified before any camping or residential event takes place.

POR Rule 4.65 states that every Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer must have the opportunity to attend at least one nights away experience every year.
It is very clear that not all Sections in each Group are meeting this POR minimum requirement.
