Photo Consent

As a group we would like to use photos or videos taken during our activities to promote Scouting in Sissinghurst & nationally to celebrate the endeavours and successes of our group members.

We hope to have many opportunities to use photographs taken of section activities to enhance our social media contents. It is Scout Association best practise to have permission from Beavers, Cubs and Scouts parents/carers before we publish media taken of your child/children, whilst undertaking scouting activities. We would request that you consider allowing us to use media content featuring your child, though we do understand that for personal or child protection reasons you may not wish you child to appear in pictures we publish. Media taken and controlled by the 1st Sissinghurst Scout Group will only be published on our own website, newsletter or posted on our noticeboards, occasionally we may forward photographs to other scouting media outlets or for local/district purposes.

Where we publish media we will take care to ensure that full names are not included in the related article or caption, e.g we will normally use captions like “The Beavers & Cubs visiting Cranbrook Fire Station” etc.

Photographic Guidelines

• We never to publish personal details with any photo image that is used (full name, email)
• We will endeavour to remove identifying metadata from graphics (e.g. location, comments etc)
• The content of all picture will be considered for good taste before publication
• We will only use images to publicise Scouting related events
• If we inadvertently publish material without parental permission on our website we will remove it as quickly as possible after it is brought to our attention. (Please use the contact form on the website to inform the Group Scout Leader immediately)
• We cannot control the legal right of third party photographers to take and publish pictures taken in a public place.

Social Media: The group does not have any control over the social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc ) that may be used by parents or youth members; individuals are responsible for the content of their own social media account. We would therefore request that you are mindful of any content that you or your child may post to this type of site and that any pictures that are set in a scouting context should not bring the Group or movement into disrepute or put young people at risk. We would also ask that you respect the wishes of other parents if they ask for their child’s picture to be removed.
