Behaviour which is not in the nature of Scouting or Guiding will not be tolerated; any actions which bring the reputation of SSAGO, The Scout Association or Girlguiding UK into disrepute will be dealt with by the National SSAGO Executive Committee.
Before midnight, only songs of a suitable nature for youth members of both Scouting and Guiding may be sung at the campfire. After midnight, songs which may be deemed unsuitable for youth members might be sung. It is therefore recommended that if you do not feel comfortable in such an environment, that you remove yourself from it when advised. Songs deemed to be discriminatory will not be tolerated at all and disciplinary action may be taken against participants partaking in this singing.
Please be mindful of any neighbours around the campsite, especially overnight. The campsite has quiet-hours policy after 11pm which must be adhered to and requires the campfire to be finished by this time. When moving around the camping or indoor accommodation areas, please also be mindful that some members may have gone to sleep earlier than you.
Alcohol
SSAGO does not operate an official alcohol policy; however, it is expected that where members are drinking it is done so responsibly. The SSAGO membership is encouraged to monitor and police itself in terms of what is acceptable and unacceptable drinking behaviour. The event comittee have the right to ask members to leave if they believe they are not acting appropriately around alcohol. All events have a designated alcohol-free zone and members should respect this space.
Nobody under the age of 18 must consume alcohol whilst participating in any activity under the banner of SSAGO, Scouting or Guiding. Anybody supplying alcohol to a person under the age of 18 is breaking the law and action will be taken accordingly. Alcohol is not an excuse for poor behaviour; inappropriate behaviour propagated under the influence of alcohol will not be viewed as lesser than acts committed when sober.

The use of illegal substances of any kind will not be tolerated by SSAGO. The police shall be called immediately and a lifetime ban from SSAGO will automatically occur. Additionally, the member(s) involved will have their name(s) passed to The Scout Association and Girlguiding UK, as well as their University.
There will be video, photography and audio being recorded during the event to help promote Scouting, Guiding and SSAGO as a whole. By participating in this event you grant SSAGO full rights to use the this media and any reproductions or adaptations for these purposes and in line with The Scouts and SSAGO policy. If you do not wish to be photographed please contact the Event Committee.
Where breaches of this behaviour occur the Event Committee, and allocated event staff, reserve the right to perform one or more of the following actions: temporary removal of a member from an online platform; removal from an activity; removal from the event; referral to the National SSAGO Executive Committee.
The National SSAGO Executive Committee shall serve to be the point of appeal for all disciplinary actions applied by the Event Committee, or staff acting on their behalf, where a member feels they have been unjustly sanctioned. If the sanctions were applied by the National SSAGO Executive Committee an appeal may be made in line with the "Behaviour and Disciplinary Procedures" Policy. Where a member is unable to take part fully in an activity or event due to restrictions placed on them by staff as a result of their behaviour there shall be no right to a refund for any costs paid towards that activity unless an appeal is successful.
