Scouting nationally has moved into an Amber Readiness state for the return to face-to-face scouting, and 2nd Worthing is looking forward to taking advantage of the opportunities this will provide us when the time is right.

The sections continue to provide virtual scouting to all group members.

As part of our covid preparedness, before any meeting occurs, we carry out risk assessments on ensuring we provide a covid-safe environment.

In Amber, we only run:

• Outdoors
• Limited to a maximum of 15 people in each group (we can run multiple groups 25m apart at the same time)
• Reduced Hours
• Social Distancing of 2m

Risk Assessments

As well as our usual assessments to manage risk, we do a specific set of COVID-specific risk assessments, similar to how businesses do COVID-SECURE for their workplaces.

Section Specific Risk Assessments

• Cub Packs Core RA
• Scout Troop Core RA

Location Risk Assessments

• At the Scout HQ
• At West Park
• At Highdown
• at Dappers Lane
• Crazy Golf at Beach House Park
