Joining / Waiting Lists

If a section has a waiting list and if a member doesn't attend # meetings in a row (without contacting the Section Leaders) then we will take a member from the waiting list to replace them.
The Scouts is like any ongoing subscription. The subscription fee is due regardless of whether you used it that month: rent and other fees still have to be paid, and volunteers still purchase and prepare resources assuming that everyone will attend.

The quorum (minimum attendance to make any decision) at all Trustee meetings is: #
The quorum for the Group's Annual General Meeting is:
- #
- #

(The same applies to any other Extraordinary General Meeting called as well )

The Group Leadership Team (in consultation with the Trustee Board) reserves the right to make exceptions to its general rules.

Provided that:

The reason for the exception is in-keeping with our values as Scouts.
The decision is approved by a clear majority at a quorate meeting, and published in the minutes. (approvals via email are acceptable provided that the decision is minuted at the next meeting.)
These decisions do not contradict:
- Scouting's Policy, Organisation & Rules (POR),
- Any policy of our District (East London Scouts) or County (Greater London North East Scouts).
- Any past exceptions granted for the same reason.
  Assuming that the Group is still able to do so, and this would not negatively impact its operation.

AppealsThese decisions can be appealed to the Scout District according to The Scouts' Complaints Procedures
