The Scout Association’s InTouch scheme is fully operational from Sept 2010.  Girlguiding has their own home contact scheme.

Rally Organisers’ InTouch System:

The Rally Organisers’ InTouch System looks at what contingents/groups/staff are attending and how to communicate with them.

A Before the rally:

Communications with groups/leaders attending is through Jamie Gordon.  Jamie will receive the application forms and communicate by e-mail, letter or phone with the contingent/group contact.  General information and forms, etc will be posted on the website.

The Camp Chief’s e-mail address is also on the information sheets.

Each department leader will be in contact with his staff.

B During the rally:

Communications will be through the admin tent with the contingent/group leaders.  For groups without a leader on site contact will be with an appropriate person from their home locality.

The phone at admin (07977478449) will be manned 24 hours a day during the rally.

Scout Contingents’/groups’ In Touch System:

The contingents’/groups’ systems looks at who is a member of their party and how to communicate with their parents.

Please inform admin of your arrangements.

Guide Home Contact System:

Fill out A/A or A/P form which includes ticking ‘home contact procedure established’ box.

Nominate someone (possibly a leader or DC) who is not closely related to the participants to keep a list of all those taking part , including contact numbers.  It may be that your mobile communication is not good at the rally so make sure your home contact has the rally admin number - 07977478449.

Please inform admin of your arrangements.
