The district nights away team have a responsibility to check that everything is in place for your nights away event, in line with The Scouts’ Policy, Organisation and Rules. This can take some time, so 7 days ensures they can check everything is okay to ensure your event is safe.
Notifications received less than 7 days before the event is due to take place will automatically be declined, and you will need to cancel your event, or reschedule it so you can give at least 7 days notice.
