Guide to OSM payments: Payment Information for Parents
We currently use OSM to record personal information such as contact details, it is also used to make payments for subs and activities.
Please Note: OSM can be updated by parents too so that we can always have access to the most up-to-date information to ensure the safety of our Scouts.
Parents can also use the system to give consent for photographs and agree to Gift Aid (Gift Aid allows us to claim on parents subscriptions, it increases our income but at no cost to parents … which is nice!)

Beavers
The Beaver Colony is organised into smaller groups called Lodges. Lodges can be used in a number of ways to facilitate the organisation of the Beaver Scout Colony. During their time in the Colony, Beaver Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on sleepovers. Participation, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Beaver Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
Please see the Scout Association website for further information and specifically for details of awards, uniform and badge placement.

Cubs
The Cub Pack is organised into small groups called Sixes, each headed up by a Cub called a Sixer and a Seconder as well. Sixes can be used in a number of ways to facilitate the organisation of the Cub Scout Pack. During their time in the Pack, Cub Scouts will get a chance to try a wide range of different activities as well as going on trips, days out, and on camps. Participation and personal development, rather than meeting set standards, is the key approach, and there are a range of badges and challenge awards that Cub Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
Please see the Scout Association website for further information and specifically for details of awards, uniform and badge placement.

Scouts
The Scout Troop is divided into small groups called Patrols, each headed up by an older Scout called a Patrol Leader, and often with an Assistant Patrol Leader. Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities, from abseiling to zorbing. Participation rather than meeting set standards is the key approach, and there are a number of badges and awards that Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.
Please see the Scout Association website for further information and specifically for details of awards, uniform and badge placement.
