Brent moves to Green Today

We’re pleased to let you know that the UK government has confirmed youth sector provision in England has moved to ‘Green’ from today. Due to this, residential and international trips will change, which is explained below. 

We’ve updated the readiness level table along with relevant guidance updates. Please also remember that this change applies to England only and other nations and jurisdictions remain unchanged at this time. 

Residential activities

Residential activities are no longer limited to six people sharing accommodation. This means more flexibility for you when planning your nights away activities, although you should still be managing the spread of COVID-19. We’ve also updated our guidance to explain that members who’ve tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 90 days (but are outside of the isolation period) are no longer required to undertake lateral flow testing in order to take part. We’re aware that is could generate false positives and prevent participation.

Covid Recovery Funding from Brent Scouts

This brings to an end the Covid Recovery funding agreed by Brent District. Scout Groups and members are still able to apply to the District Hardship fund for support.
