New parents (or carers) receive an information pack to explain the way the  group is organised and what is expected of the child and the adults.

The information pack contains a number of forms which need to be returned before the child can be invested:

• Information form about the child (incl. medical information)
• Information form about the parents/carers 
• A parents agreement
• Standing order form (optional - but preferred to minimise the administration for the leaders)
• Gift aid form (for parents who are tax payers)
• Criminal Records Bureau form (which can be requested by emailing crb@wottonscoutgroup.org)
  

For certain activities it is a requirement to complete additional paperwork (e.g. camps).
