Can my child wear a face covering?

Updated 30/08/2021

The use of face coverings is not mandated, but a personal choice. All we ask is that any decoration is appropriate – no skulls, etc. as they can frighten other young people.

Scouts and Explorers must wear face coverings indoors where physical contact is required by the activity or in poorly ventilated spaces. Leaders will let you know if this is the case in advnace, but usual meetings at the hall will not require face coverings as ventilation is adequate. Outdoors, they do not need to wear a face covering, however they are welcome to do so if they/parents wish.

Leaders may be wearing face masks, however are not required to. This is a personal choice.
