18th Ayrshire Scout Group - Web Policy Statement

As the current webmaster of the 18th Ayrshire Scout Group site I though it would be sensible to outline the aims of the site and our security policy.

Purpose of the Site

• The site is designed to be an information portal for parents to view / download information on activities and news that directly relates to the Scout Group and its three Sections.
• We do not and will not include any chatroom / notice board technology and strongly discourage our members from using these facilities anywhere on the internet.

What are we doing to protect our members and other sensitive information?

• No individual member will ever be named or identified by photograph or any other means on the site.
• No person contact details (except for Leaders e-mail addresses) will ever be posted on the site.
• The whole site will eventually be right click protected, this means that no pictures / objects / coding can be downloaded or saved. What appears on the screen can only be viewed there or printed.
• All documents have been scanned by the latest anti virus software.
• No exact times of events will be published.
• Newsletters / other reports have been edited to delete sensitive information.
• We have not and will not register the site on any search engine, or any other website except for the St Columba Church website.
• We have developed the site useing the advice of the Scout Association on the creation of Websites. A copy of which can be found on Scoutbase, Factsheets Section.

Thanks for Visiting
