Waiting List Policy

Places are offered by priority of the date of joining the waiting list, with the following exceptions:

  • Children of current or new leaders are given priority because we depend heavily on parent volunteers for our leadership teams.
  • Those moving up through the Group (from Beavers to Cubs, and Cubs to Scouts) are offered places ahead of those on the waiting list.
  • A young person already in scouting and moving home into the area from another scout district will be considered for a place.

We contact parents (by phone or email) if a space becomes available, approximately half a term before their child is due to start.

Our waiting lists often exceed the number of spaces available and so we are not always able to offer a place. A child that does not obtain a place in one section will be held our waiting list for the next age group. There is no need to reapply for each section.

If you wish to join our waiting list, please contact us via the website.

If you have registered your child on the waiting list for 18th Warrington East (4th Lymm)and you do not hear from us, please contact us.
