UPDATE: AUGUST 2020
Please note there is as yet no date for our return to Scouting. Most sections have had some form of digital meeting, either by email or Zoom. We are not currently accepting new members from the Joining List - we will be in touch as soon as we can.
Yours In Scouting

MARCH 2020:
The UK Scout Association has this evening (Monday 16th March 2020) suspended all face to face Scouting, including meetings, events, activities and camps, until further notice, due to the Coronavirus outbreak. There will be no Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers or Network until otherwise informed.
The Gangshow trip, St George's Day Parade, District Camp, Monday Beaver Sleepover and County Cub Camp have already been cancelled. No decision has yet been taken regarding Family Camp or Summer Camp. Even if restrictions are lifted, the next few weeks are critical in terms of planning for these events, and as a voluntary organisation, we need the time to make decisions such as bookings, payments, letters, replies, forms etc etc. Restrictions will make it very difficult to organise these events, and the uncertainty will make the finances extremely difficult to raise. I will of course keep you updated as soon as I can.
The Scout Association have plans for some Scouting style activities to do at home if families are faced with self isolation - I will forward these on as soon as I get them. They may even earn you badges!
The 11th Nuneaton Scout Leadership team will be in touch with each other over the next few days (digitally!) to discuss the finer details of the shutdown and we will communicate any relevant information as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please communicate directly with me.
Yours in Scouting
