Following rules and policy

Modified on Tue, 1 Jul at 10:48 AM

The main purpose of Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR) is to describe how the Scouts is structured, organised, managed and governed.


It is impossible to set out detailed rules to cover every eventuality, which means that much depends upon the judgment of responsible people at every level of the movement. Everyone concerned should strive to exercise that judgement in ways that encourage the development and growth of the Scouts and the safe delivery of the programme.


Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR) applies in all parts of The Scout Association in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar and British Scouting Overseas.
