About these terms

These terms apply when you use the 3rd Newhaven Scout Group website, including its public pages and any services available to registered volunteers. By continuing to use the website, you agree to follow these terms. We may update them when the website, the law or relevant Scouts policies change.

Using the website

Use the website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm the group, Scouts, other users or the operation of the service. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, disrupt the website, impersonate another person or use information obtained here for an unrelated purpose.

Information and availability

We take reasonable care to keep meeting details, news, events and joining information accurate. Activities, places and arrangements can change, so confirm important details with a section leader. The website is provided on an as-available basis and may occasionally be unavailable or contain errors.

Volunteer accounts

Accounts are personal to the approved volunteer. Keep passwords and recovery codes private, use two-factor authentication where available and tell an administrator promptly if access may have been compromised. 3rd Newhaven Scout Group may restrict or remove access when a volunteer leaves, breaches these terms, or when this is necessary to protect young people, personal information or the service. Having a volunteer account does not by itself grant access to the administration area; that requires separate administrator permission.

Contributions and personal information

Only submit material that you have permission to use. When providing photographs, video, names or other information about an identifiable person, make sure the appropriate consent and safeguarding requirements have been met. Do not publish a young person's personal contact details or sensitive information. Content submitted for publication may be edited, declined or removed by authorised volunteers.

Registered volunteers must handle personal information only for authorised Scouting purposes and in line with data-protection law, safeguarding requirements and current Scouts policies. Do not download, share or retain personal information unless it is needed for your role.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, content created by 3rd Newhaven Scout Group may not be copied, republished or used commercially without permission. The Scouts name, fleur-de-lis and other Scouts branding are protected and must be used in accordance with Scouts brand guidance. Third-party names, logos and material remain the property of their respective owners.

External websites and services

Links and integrations may lead to services operated by Scouts, Online Scout Manager, Cloudflare or other providers. 3rd Newhaven Scout Group does not control those services, and their own terms and privacy notices apply.

Responsibility

Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, 3rd Newhaven Scout Group is not responsible for losses caused by relying on outdated public information, temporary unavailability, or third-party websites and services outside the group's control.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over disputes relating to the website.

Contact and official Scouts terms

Use the contact page to report an error, accessibility issue, security concern or question about these terms.

These local terms are adapted from the Scouts UK website terms and conditions. The official Scouts terms also apply when you use services operated directly by The Scout Association.
