Data protection

Keeping data safe, sound and secure

Data protection is the role of all members who have access to personal data in Scouting. It’s about ensuring the security of the data we hold, using data only when we need to, and respecting the guidance set out by the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

In Wansdyke, the responsibility for data protection (as set out by HQ) is delegated. Each scout group has legal responsibility to comply with GDPR and follow the guidance, independent of the district. Explorer Scout Units and any district entities are managed by the District Executive Committee, with a set Data Protection Officer for support. However, groups are welcome to engage with the district for guidance and further support.
