How to set up an Activity or Events (NAN/AN Forms)

When costing the events you need to take into account OSM Fees and the only way to accept payment is through OSM. On our website we have a OSM Fee Calculator that will calculate the OSM Fees for you and will show how much you will receive. Remember that this fee is calculated per transaction not the overall payment. For more information refer to OSM Payments.

When planning an Activities/Event there are somethings that you need to do and consider. As per POR, our District Commissioners need to be notified when either of the following things are happening:

• Activities that are happening away from the Scout Hall and/or are not within the normal meeting times.  – This requires an Activity Notification Form and a OSM Event with all attendees signing up to it. Note: Not required for areas directly adjacent to Scout Premises.
• Camps and Sleepovers that are happening anywhere including the Scout Hut – This requires a Nights Away Notification Form and a OSM Event with all attendees signing up to it.

The OSM Events/Programme needs to be setup and sent out with adequate time, this is normally 2 weeks prior to the event.

Nights Away Notifications need to be submitted via the new membership system on HQ Membership System . If you sign in to the HQ Membership System and then return here to click on My membership – Apply for nights away it should take you straight to the right area on the membership system.
