Scouting should be fun and enjoyable for all members; young people and adult volunteers. Ensuring everyone understands what is acceptable behaviour and what behaviour is unacceptable will help everyone have a great Scouting experience whilst a member at 1st Barnham.
To help ensure a consistent approach to managing behaviour in all our sections, the Group created a Disciplinary Code in 2013.
The code has two stages:
First Stage – Section codes of behaviour
All sections will operate a code of conduct that they feel is appropriate for their particular section. This code is created with the involvement of the young people in the section and reviewed as part of the section programme (usually annually).
Barnham Beavers Code of Behaviour (Jan 2018)
Walberton Beavers Code of Behaviour (Sept 2021)
Barnham Cubs Code of Behaviour (Jan 2023)
Eastergate Cubs Code of Behaviour (Jan 2023)
Walberton Cubs Code of Behaviour (Jan 2023)
Ghost and Phantom Scout Troops Code Of Conduct (April 2023)
Second Stage – Group disciplinary procedure
This is the Group’s formal disciplinary procedure and is common across all sections. The Disciplinary Code outlines the procedure that will be followed for any incidents involving violent, threatening or abusive behaviour towards other members and deliberate acts that put adults or young people at serious risk of harm.
Where appropriate a young person may be excluded for a specified period or be required to leave the Group.
