Digital Support
As part of the Transformation process we’re moving towards the launch of a new digital system in February 2024. This will replace Compass and add extra tools for all of us.
It’s important we make the transition to the new system as smooth as possible. This begins in earnest now – with ensuring that the data in our current system is cleaned up and up-to-date by Christmas 2023 at the latest. Putting the time and effort into this now will mean fewer issues and time spent clearing up when the new system goes live.
Action: We ask that Scout Groups, Districts and Counties review all data of their members. This must be seen as a priority ahead of the extraction to ensure that all members have the right roles and permissions to their name. All volunteers should ensure that their personal information is up to date to ensure a smooth transition to the new membership system.
Mapping roles to the new structure
As part of preparing for the data migration, it’s important that we showcase the change in our terminology and highlight the changes to our structure which will help you map volunteers to the appropriate roles.
Rebranded

Obsolete Roles

Action: We ask that Group Scout Leaders, District Commissioners and County Commissioners have conversations with their teams about the changes in advance, especially if a volunteer’s role is changing. To assist with the smooth transition to the new membership system and embedding the new culture, we believe it’s important that everyone is aware of what’s changing in advance with full transparency.
