Parents

If you’re a parent of a group member some information and useful links can be found below. Don’t forget to check our news page as well.

Useful links

• Online Scout Manager: Parent Portal
  You’ll use the Parent Portal on OSM to manage the information we hold about your child(ren), set up Direct Debits for payments and respond to invitations to attend events.
• Badge information
  Throughout your time with Scouts, you can work on a variety of badges – several of these you can do at home (talk to your leaders first).
• Scout shop
  You’ll need to buy some uniform when you start and when you move sections. We no longer have a physical shop in Swindon, so are recommending you buy direct from the online Scout Shop. Free delivery is available on orders over £40 (at time of writing) so it may be worth clubbing together with other parents to put an order through together.
