COMPASS HAS NOW BEEN SWITCHED OFF PERMANTLY
Compass will be replaced by a new set of digital tools which will not only hold membership information but will also help automate some of our processes (e.g. Nights Away Notifications). It will also provide the new Learning systems which will provide access to a growing number of e-learning modules.
We expect that leaders in GLMW will receive an email from HQ on Monday 25th November inviting you to login to the new Digital Tools. Group Lead volunteers should receive an email on Sunday 24th November.
There are interim processes in place for the following activities:
- internal checks and references;
- criminal record checks;
- learning;
- suspensions;
- permits;
- nights away notifications;
- grants and awards;
- Scout store.
Details about the interim arrangements are available here : Interim Processes
