I am able to confirm that Berkshire Scouts has renewed non-Member Children’s Insurance which gives Third Party & Personal Accident cover for non members under 18 years arising out of a Scouting activity. This cover is arranged on a Berkshire wide basis and includes cover for Crèches if and when arranged.
If any Groups or Districts are organizing ‘Scouting’ Events and are asked to produce evidence of Legal Liability Insurance in force, suitable letters confirming relevant cover is in force may be obtained by making contact with myself.
