We actively promote our group through our social media platforms and we encourage our members to support us in this. However, we understand social media is not for everyone and we respect our member’s rights to online privacy, particularly when it comes to social media. You can take a look at our recent public social media at the links below, we also have private groups, these are strictly for parents, guardians and members of 4th Heswall (St. Peter’s) Sea Scout Group.
The 4th Heswall website and social media accounts are managed by the Group’s digital communications team. Any views expressed are not necessarily the views of 4th Heswall (St. Peter’s) Sea Scout Group or any Scout associated organisation. We do not use any automation (such as tools which generate tweets from RSS feeds) to post content.
If you follow all or any 4th Heswall social media platforms you can expect regular posts covering the following:
There may be images or mentions of branded items on our website and social media streams. We may share posts from accounts we follow which we feel may be relevant or of interest to our members, parents, leaders and followers. If we mention, display, follow or share content or images from any brand, this does not imply endorsement or promotion by 4th Heswall (St. Peter’s) Sea Scout Group of any kind at any level. We do not receive favour or reward for any such activity.
You can follow and interact with 4th Heswall Scout Group in various ways online.
Our social media channels are not intended as ways to contact any members directly. All of the Group’s online activity conforms to Scouting Policy Organisation Rules (POR), with additional information available regarding the Scout UK policy here.
There are many ways we interact with our members online. Online conference calls with young members can inspire and enthuse our young people in so many ways, unfortunately such activities do present risk in terms of safeguarding.
