Our legal basis for processing your data

The Group processes and stores personal information relating to current members, past members, prospective members, the parents/guardians of such members and adult volunteers.

For most purposes the Group processes the information outlined in this notice in pursuit of our legitimate interests in managing young people’s progress through the Group and in ensuring that their parents/guardians are aware of forthcoming holiday dates for the sections, know what the sections have been doing recently and are planning to do in the coming weeks and have details of the fundraising we have undertaken or plan to undertake in order to ensure that we have the funds necessary to pay for their child’s Scouting. We also have a legitimate interest in providing current and prospective members and their parents/guardians with information about the activities undertaken by the different sections within the Group. And we have a legitimate interest in ensuring that the adult volunteers in the Group receive information, support and training relevant to their role.

Sensitive personal data relating to health and religion is processed by the Group with the consent of parents/guardians to help us ensure the safety and well-being of young people while engaged in Scouting activities. You are free to withdraw such consent at any time but doing so may mean that we have to terminate your child’s membership of the Group (as withdrawal of consent may compromise our ability to fulfil our duty of care in relation to your child).
