Good afternoon parents and carers
Following
an update which I have received from The Scout Association, taking effect
today, 2 December 2021, the youth sector moves to the Yellow readiness level
and the following changes apply:
Anyone aged 11+ must wear a face
covering when indoors, unless they are exempt.
This
includes Scouts, Explorers, leaders (who are not actively leading activities)
and visitors to the centre (parents).
For
everyone’s safety, we will return to greeting young people at the main door at
the start of the meeting and dismissing them from the main door at the end of
meetings as we see parents. Please can I ask that parents/carers return to
waiting outside at the start/end of meetings as we did previously. Only enter
the building if you really need to discuss an issue with the leaders. Everyone
will continue to be asked to sanitise hands upon arrival and departure.
Obviously
none of us want to see the return of additional measures, however, it
is in the best interests of all our safety and hopefully we will be able to
avoid having to return to virtual meetings!
I will
write again when I receive any further updates or information.
Best
wishes
