Insurance

Members and Trustees of any age are covered through the annual membership fee – and it is an urban myth that you need to be in uniform to be covered (after all you wouldn’t swim in your uniform would you….).

Each Group / Unit / District / County may then need to take out additional insurance to cover a range of additional resources (such as buildings, equipment and vehicles), people (such as parent helpers or non-member children) or events (such as a camp).

Personal possessions are not covered through scouting.

Unity Insurance is a wholly owned part of the Scout Association, contact them to :

• check what level of cover is provided and who is covered
• obtain a copy of the Public Liability insurance
• request a quote for additional cover (although as always it pays to shop around and compare quotes with other providers, and check the finer details to ensure you compare “like for like”).
