Nights Away Notification (NAN) Form

PURPOSE AND USE: This form provides the information a Commissioner (or their nominee) requires to approve an event to take place (i.e. POR 9.1b/9.1c). The Permit holder is responsible for ensuring the appropriate Commissioner is informed about each section attending a nights away event (even a District or County event).

For all Nights Away events the information below should be with your Commissioner (or their nominee) at least 10 days before the event (in normal circumstances). How the information is passed on will depend on local arrangements, but must be documented. Please ensure your Group Scout Leader / District Explorer Scout Commissioner is aware of the event.
The event must not go ahead until the Commissioner (or their nominee) has confirmed their approval.

You can notify the District Commissioner of a night away event via the online form below or by downloading the MS Word version of the form below and emailing it.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
