Historia En 1977, los Scouts del Distrito de Wakefield recibieron una subvención de más de £ 5000 que, junto con una mayor recaudación de fondos, se utilizó para comprar un casco de barco estrecho de 47 pies. El barco se entregó en mayo de 1978 y más tarde ese mismo año el barco se sometió a un acondicionamiento completo que le permitió ser utilizado tanto para viajes de un día como para viajes nocturnos. Poco después, el barco recibió el nombre de Jubilee Venture y desde entonces ha sido utilizado por muchos grupos de exploradores y grupos comunitarios en el río Calder y los canales cercanos en Wakefield. Hasta el día de hoy, más de 40 años después, el barco angosto permanece en manos de los Scouts del Distrito de Wakefield. En 2016, los Scouts del distrito de Wakefield compraron un segundo bote estrecho, un bote estrecho de 52 pies del East Manchester Community Boat Project, que pasó a llamarse Scouting Venture. Después de una remodelación interior completa, ahora opera junto con nuestro barco estrecho existente, Jubilee Venture. Puede encontrar más información sobre nuestros orígenes y cómo se han desarrollado nuestros barcos estrechos en los documentos PDF que se pueden ver utilizando los enlaces a continuación. Estos documentos aún se están recopilando y se agregarán más documentos una vez que estén finalizados. También se ha creado una línea de tiempo para Jubilee Venture y Scouting Venture, que también se puede encontrar a continuación.

Política de protección de datos Introduction The Scout Association’s commitment to protecting privacy and data forms a key policy for Scouting. This policy underpins both this Data Protection Policy and other associated policies used by The Scout Association, local Scouting and its membership. It is important to note that as Data Controllers, local Scout Groups, Districts, Counties/Areas/Regions and Countries are directly responsible for any personal data they process and must therefore ensure that they are aware of their responsibilities under the law. 1. Purpose of this Data Protection policy and what it covers This policy sets out The Scout Association’s approach to protecting personal data and explains your rights in relation to how we may process personal data. We provide more detail in respect of how we process and protect your data below, particularly in section 5. This policy applies to each local Scout Unit when processing personal data in addition to or independent from The Scout Association itself. The Scout Association (“We” in this document) [is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office at] the following address: Gilwell Park, Chingford, London E4 7QW. If you have any queries about anything set out in this policy or about your own rights, please write to the Data Protection Officer (Black Penny Consulting) at the above address or via email at Enquiries.dpo@scouts.org.uk . We may from time to time make minor changes to this policy. We will notify you directly when we make any substantial or significant changes to the policy. 2. Some Important Definitions ‘We’ means The Scout Association ‘ICO’ is the Information Commissioner’s Office, the body responsible for enforcing data protection legislation within the UK and the regulatory authority for the purposes of the GDPR ‘Local Scouting’ and ‘Scout unit’ mean Scout Groups, Districts, Counties, Areas (Wales), Regions (Scotland) or Countries. ‘Personal Data’ is defined in section 3 ‘Processing’ means all aspects of handling personal data, for example collecting, recording, keeping, storing, sharing, archiving, deleting and destroying it. ‘Data Controller’ means anyone (a person, people, public authority, agency or any other body) which, on its own or with others, decides the purposes and methods of processing personal data. We are a data controller insofar as we process personal data in the ways described in this policy. ‘Data processor’ means anyone who processes personal data under the data controller’s instructions, for example a service provider. We act as a data processor in certain circumstances. ‘Subject Access Request’ is a request for personal data that an organisation may hold about an individual. This request can be extended to include the deletion, rectification and restriction of processing. ‘Compass’ Compass is The Scouts Association’s membership system. Local Scouting must comply with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the GDPR when using Compass, The Scout Association’s Membership System. 3. What is personal data? Personal data means any information about an identified or identifiable person. For example, an individual’s home address, personal (home and mobile) phone numbers and email addresses, occupation, and so on can all be defined as personal data. Some categories of personal data are recognised as being particularly sensitive (“special category data”). These include data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, genetic and biometric information, and data concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation. 4. How does data protection apply to local Scouting? Data protection legislation applies to all data controllers regardless of whether they are charities or small organisations. It applies to local Scouting in the same way as it does to other organisations. Scout units are created and run as independent charities and insofar as they collect and store personal data about members and young people, for example, they are data controllers and must adhere to the law. There are scenarios of joint controllership of personal data between The Scout Association and local Scouting, this is regarding the data held within Compass and specifically for the activities below: Maintenance of local Scouting’s primary records, such as name, address and leadership details of the local Group, District, County, Area(Wales), Region (Scotland) or Country Local Scouting roles, such as creation, management and deletion of role and any reasons for leaving local Scouting. This includes ID checking Direct messaging in the platform Training updates and Personal Learning Plan Each Scout unit will have its own data protection policy and it is expected to state that it adheres to this policy. In case of any doubt or questions you are advised to contact the Scout unit directly or to write to our Data Protection Officer (Black Penny Consulting) at the above address who may be able to help. 5. What type of personal data do we collect and why? 5.1 Members and volunteers We benefit from the service of a large number of members giving their time to Scouting at both UKHQ and local Scouting levels.

Keeping personal data secure Everyone who handles personal data (including staff, members, volunteers, payroll and pension providers) must make sure it is held securely to protect against unlawful or unauthorised processing and accidental loss or damage. We take appropriate steps to make sure we keep all personal data secure, and we make all of our staff aware of these steps, including keeping to our internal information and computing technology (ICT) policy. In most cases, personal data must be stored in appropriate systems and encrypted when taken off-site. The following is general guidance for everyone working within Scouting, including staff, members and volunteers in local Scouting. You must only store personal data on networks, drives or files that are password protected and regularly backed up. You should have proper entry-control systems in place, and you should report any stranger seen in entry-controlled areas. You should keep paper records containing personal data secure. If you need to move paper records, you should do this strictly in line with data protection rules and procedures. You should not download personal data to mobile devices such as laptops and USB sticks unless necessary. Access to this information must be password protected and the information should be deleted immediately after use. You must keep all personal data secure when travelling. Personal data relating to members and volunteers should usually only be stored on the membership database or other specific databases which have appropriate security in place. When sending larger amounts of personal data by post, you should use registered mail or a courier. Memory sticks should be encrypted. When sending personal data by email this must be appropriately authenticated and password protected. Do not send financial or sensitive information by email unless it is encrypted. You should not share your passwords with anyone. Different rights of access should be allocated to users depending on their need to access personal or confidential information. You should not have access to personal or confidential information unless you need it to carry out your role. Before sharing personal data with other people or organisations, you must ensure that they are GDPR compliant. In the event that you detect or suspect a data breach, you should follow your defined breach response process. All staff undertake regular training to ensure that they are aware of the above rules 8. Responsibilities We expect our staff, managers, trustees, volunteers, members and any providers we use (for example payroll or pension providers) to keep to the guidelines as set out in our Data Policy and under ICO and GDPR guidance when they are using or processing personal data and other confidential or sensitive information. This is set out more clearly below. 8. 1 Board of Trustees Our Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the Association and for making sure that we keep to legal requirements, including data protection legislation. Our CEO and senior leadership team are responsible for making sure we keep to these requirements across UKHQ. 8.2 Data protection officer (DPO) or equivalent role holder TSA has externally appointed a DPO to ensure the organisation is monitoring compliance with GDPR and other Data Protection laws, our data protection policies, awareness- raising, training, and audits. Local Scouting Units should consider appointing their own DPO. The data protection officer is responsible for: making sure that this data protection policy is up to date advising you on data protection issues dealing with complaints about how we use personal and sensitive personal data reporting to the ICO if we do not keep to any regulations or legislation 8.3 Staff All staff have a responsibility to keep to the requirements of this data protection policy and our related procedures and processes. Managers are responsible for making sure that staff within their teams are aware of and keep to this. If you become aware of a data protection issue you must report it promptly to the data protection officer or equivalent role holder. If you do not adhere to this data protection policy and its associated policies and procedures, we may take disciplinary action against you. 8.4 Volunteers, members and local Scouting We expect you to keep to data protection legislation and this data protection policy, and to follow the relevant rules set out in our Policy, Organisation and Rules (POR). The local Executive Committee (trustees of local Groups, Districts, Areas, Counties, Countries and so on) has overall responsibility for keeping to data protection regulations. As part of your data protection duties, you should report urgently (to your local manager or the Executive Committee) any instance where the rules on how we handle personal data are broken (or might be broken). 9. Data Retention We may keep information for different periods of time for different purposes as required by law or best practice. Individual departments include these time periods in their processes. We make sure we store this in line with our Data Retention Policy . As far as membership information is concerned, to make sure of continuity (for example if you leave and then re-join) and to carry out our legal responsibilities relating to safeguarding young people, we keep your membership information throughout your membership and after it ends, and we make sure we store it securely. Only those staff who need membership information to carry out their role have access to that information. 10. Rights to accessing and updating personal data Under data protection law, individuals have a number of rights in relation to their personal data. (a) The right to information: As a data controller, we must give you a certain amount of information about how we collect and process information about you. This information needs to be concise, transparent, understandable and accessible. (b) The right of subject access: If you want a copy of the personal data we hold about you, you have the right to make a subject access request (SAR) and get a copy of that information within 30 days. (c) The right to rectification: You have the right to ask us, as data controller, to correct mistakes in the personal data we hold about you. (d) The right to erasure (right to be forgotten): You can ask us to delete your personal data if it is no longer needed for its original purpose, or if you have given us permission to process it and you withdraw that permission (or where there is no other lawful basis for processing it). (e) The right to restrict processing: In certain circumstances where, for lawful or legitimate purposes we cannot delete your relevant personal information or if you do not want us to delete it, we can continue to store it for restricted purposes. This is an absolute right unless we have a lawful purpose to have it that overwrites your rights. (f) The obligation to notify relevant third parties: If we have shared information with other people or organisations, and you then ask us to do either (c), (d) or (e) above, as data controller we must tell the other person or organisation (unless this is impossible or involves effort that is out of proportion to the matter). (g) The right to data portability: This allows you to transfer your personal data from one data controller to another. (h) The right to object: You have a right to object to us processing your personal data for certain reasons, as well as the right to object to processing carried out for profiling or direct marketing. (i) The right to not be evaluated on the basis of automatic processing: You have the right not to be affected by decisions based only on automated processing which may significantly affect you. (j) The right to bring class actions: You have the right to be collectively represented by not-for-profit organisations. 11. Subject access requests You are entitled to ask us, in writing, for a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is known as a subject access request (SAR). In line with legislation, we will not charge a fee for this information and will respond to your request within one calendar month. This is unless this is not possible or deemed excessive, in which case we will contact you within the month of making the SAR to state the reason for the extension and/or the charging of an appropriate fee. Our members or anyone else we hold personal data about can also ask for information from local Scouting. The relevant Scout unit, as data controller in their own right, must answer these requests. UKHQ is not legally responsible for these local SARs but we advise Scout units to respond to them in line with the law (that is, within the specified one calendar month time frame). 12. Further information and contacts Data protection officer contact details Enquiries.dpo@scouts.org.uk Subject access requests Subject access requests for data held by The Scout Association UKHQ should be made to our UKHQ legal department at legal.services@scouts.org.uk or by writing to: The Scout Association Legal Services Gilwell Park Chingford London E4 7QW. Please note, subject access requests for data held by Local Scouting should be made directly to the relevant Scout unit as each Scout unit operates as a separate charity and each is a Data Controller in its own right. In situations where you feel The Scout Association has not handled your personal data query/complaint appropriately you have the right to inform the Information Commissioners Office.

Reviews Lincolnshire Viking ESU Trip Date: 5th – 7th March November 2021 We had a great weekend away with you at the start of November and have finally put together a video of the trip. It can be seen here: We would love to take the boats out again next year, so if any more permit training weekends become available please let us know. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved in the canal boat project. Our weekend was one of the highlights of the year for the Explorers, and we appreciate all the hard work that must go on behind the scenes to make this possible. 1st Clifford Scout Group Trip Report – 1st Clifford Scouts Date: 14th – 16th March 2014 Crew: 2 leaders, 8 Scouts aged 10-11 Route: Wakefield Basin → Royal Armouries, Leeds → Wakefield Basin Blessed with sunshine, the leaders left Wakefield Basin for the short trip to Stanley Marina on Friday lunchtime with the aim of picking up the youngsters for a post-school 4:30pm pickup. The rendezvous was uneventful and we left Stanley at around 5pm with the intention of a short leg including a lock before parking up for the night just short of King's Road lock. The wind was getting up but the steel pins went in strongly and we had a secure night in relatively open country. Everything runs a little slower on the narrowboat which surprisingly the Scouts don't mind. Tea was David's best home-prepared meatballs shortly followed by bed. The bunks on JV take a little construction and it's a little like one of those games where you have to move 'A' to get 'B' into place as the four extra berths take shape. Soon everyone was tucked in and the increasing wind served only to rock the crew to sleep. In the morning, the canal was choppy with white-tops! The daily checks were completed and after a quick breakfast of cereal we headed off on a dash to the Armouries. Much of the route is along the river rather than canals, but we chose to potter along and JV made good headway in the face of still-increasing wind and the modest river current. We kept our eyes peeled for a good overnight location as we passed upstream. Swans normally require quite a run along the water to get going, but today we saw STOL performance with a near vertical into-wind take-off! Through the lock and a very sharp turn to the left (should that be port?) into Clarence Dock. The vistor berths are on the left (adjacent to the Armouries) and were all in use except the last one so we had a confined space, a u-turn and a fiendishly strong wind funnelled by the adjacent buildings and driving us fast into the dock. It was an anxious moment being broadsides to the wind with little space in front or behind, but Keith's excellent training worked wonders and we managed to slot into a 70ft slot without hitting anything. The Scouts had an hour to use the nice, clean toilets and buy some souvenirs before re-boarding and setting off for our return. In no time at all we were passing Thwaites Mill Museum (perhaps a future destination for us) and then on to our overnight stop above Lemonroyd Lock. It's a beautiful location and is immediately adjacent to the RSPB St Alban's Reserve. The Scouts went exploring a little in the gloaming and we returned to the reserve the next day to find one of the hidden gems of West Yorkshire. Setting off around 11pm was perhaps a little late but with Sandwiches for lunch, it wasn't too long before we arrived back at Stanley Marina to empty the loo, fill the water tanks and break the back of packing and cleaning. (Note to self, a full portaloo weighs A LOT – well worth emptying every day). Half an hour after leaving we were back at Fall Ings lock – the only manual one that the youngsters had done, and then into the basin comfortably by 4:30pm. A great weekend with smiles all round. Thank you to everyone in the JV team for providing a fantastic resource. We hope to be back. 3rd Buxton Cubs 4th - 6th April 2014 Camp Parents drove Cubs and Young Leaders from Buxton to our pre-arranged meeting point at the Navigation Inn just outside of Wakefield for 7:30 on the Friday evening. Chris & Lesley had arrived earlier and prepared things including the food which was delivered by Tesco’s to the pub Car Park. Our thanks go out to all at Wakefield as picking up the boat at this location made the trip possible. A detailed safety briefing took place on the Friday night along with a familiarization of the boat and the Canal. The bunks were erected and all set to sleep for 10pm. A pleasant night’s sleep saw Saturday morning come all too quickly and following a good breakfast, all were present whilst the daily checks took place below the rear deck. Following fitting and adjusting lifejackets and a safety reminder we got underway for 9am. As we headed off upstream the first lock was only a few minutes away and a demonstration of how to use the lock safely was delivered to willing ears. The boat rose safely and soon we were on our way. We stopped at what Chris called the “Hole in the Wall” but was labelled on our chart as a (former lock and marina) after about half an hours travel. The toilet and bin were emptied and we were soon under way again noting that stopping after the hole in the wall rather that before would have offered easier disembarkation from the boat. It’s worth noting that all the facilities advertised here were usable except for the lock on the toilet door which had been changed preventing use by anyone with the standard British Waterways key. After three hours travelling we reached double locks at the junction of the Dewsbury Arm and saw a helicopter fly low overhead. We took lunch beside the towpath and afterwards we headed on up the locks and further up the canal and an hour and a half later we went through the flood lock onto the River Calder. The river was wide and fast flowing to compare with the canal, though the marker showed it in the Green. Quarter of an hour later we were at Greenwood lock and looking at the signpost for Sowerby Bridge. We soon were back out onto the river reaching Shepley Bridge Lock mooching on up the canal and up through Ledgard Flood lock and back to the river up to Battyeford Marina where after a break we turned around and headed back for an overnight at Shepley Bridge marina. Shepley Bridge marina was a great overnight stop where we invested the four Young Leaders and slept well before the domestics including morning bin & toilet emptying. Our journeying back was even more fun than Saturday’s journey upstream and as well as being accompanied along the towpath by a sponsored charity walk. The canal and river was alive with wildlife including toads, ducklings, swans, herons and a kingfisher. We are both grateful to the Wakefield team who helped to make the trip possible and found things worked really well, we were taken aback by the state of some of the locks on the journey which were clearly in poor shape, shame on the Canal and River Trust who clearly are not putting sufficient investment into this area. The young Leaders were doing a project on Water Management and we had covered the need not to waste water only to find some lock gates that fitted so badly that water leaked out nearly as quickly as we put it in. Come on Canal & River Trust, this is a beautiful part of the world, the Calder & Hebble Navigation is a great area of beauty put some more investment in here and fix the leaky locks! Our view on the whole trip was GREAT ! The next trip in Jubilee Venture is already booked for 10 weeks time. We would thorouly recomend this to other groups so if you have an interest contact the Wakefield team Thanks to all that helped.
