  • How to I get help with a question I have?
    Firstly we recommend you take a look through these FAQ's. If you still have a questions please use the form at the bottom of the page to get in touch with the team.
  • What is the Transformation project in Scouts UK?
    We're transforming volunteering at Scouts to make it easier, more enjoyable and rewarding. We’re rolling out changes to help us: Give a warmer welcome for everyone Deliver better learning Simplify how we volunteer together With the support of easy-to-use digital tools. We’re rolling out changes to the volunteer experience in stages - first to members in Early Adopter Counties then to members in All Other Counties.
  • What improvements are already planned or have already been made for the new member management system?
    It is already understood that there are some updates that would support the use of the system and some of these have already been implemented, with more to come based on early adopters and new users, as well as ongoing testing. See the link here for more information. https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/volunteer-experience/support/upcoming-improvements
  • Will the new Atlantic data login allow people to submit their own DBS check online by scanning passport etc. I have seen this done by girlguiding recently and will speed up the process massively if possible.
    The new volunteer will be able to add their own ID to the system which speeds the process up but they must still meet the ID checker with the original ID.
  • Is there a page from HQ about Transformation?
    Absolutely. https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/volunteer-experience/
  • Given the new importance of Trustee Boards is it mandatory for everyone on a TB to complete Trustee Training Module even if they had completed 01EX before September 2020?
    Strictly no (ie its not a compliance point), but strongly encouraged. But in the world of 'strongly encouraged' it may be better to wait until after transformation and have them complete the new Trustee learning module.
  • Is there a standard trustee nomination or application form we can use to recruit new trustees especially from the local community. These need to be in place prior to AGMs. Rather than every group/district having to create their own wouldn't be good to have a standard template from TSA?
    There’s no need for a specific nomination or application form. There are recruitment materials at - https://www.scouts.org.uk/.../recruiting-new-trustees/ Then the usual pre-Compass forms at - https://www.scouts.org.uk/.../appointing/appointment-forms/
