When is an adult member covered by insurance?
Scouts Canada's Insurer now only insures adults that have
completed the first five steps of the Screening Process:
For all new members
- 1. "Application for Membership and Appointment of Adults"
signed by the applicant.
- 2. Completed a successful Scouts Canada Screening
Interview.
- 3. References check (3) completed.
- 4. Clean PRC has been received.
- 5. The Council Executive Director has verified the process
has been followed and is complete.
Note: The probationary period is no longer
applicable.
The process is only complete/confirmed when the application is
signed by the CED and entered in the Membership
Management System, (forms in the NOC office).
For current members "returning to the same position"
Only steps 1 & 5 are required including the
Group/Commissioner approval.
Step 4 applies if their clean PRC is more than 3 years old.
Screening Process for Current Members Changing Roles
Changing sections/roles within the group/area/council:
- No formal references required. Key leader or group chair may
make informal inquiries if they feel this is warranted.
- No probation
- Personal Development Plan including Orientation as
required.
Changing groups within the council/area:
- 2 formal references, one group committee or
Commissioner/Service Team Member responsible for the previous
group/section and one leader in the previous section or
equivalents for other roles.
- No probation
- Personal Development Plan including Orientation as
required.
Transferring to another council:
- 2 formal references, one group committee or
Commissioner/Service Team Member responsible for the previous
group/section and one leader in the previous section or
equivalents for other roles.
- Continue personal development
- The Volunteer Screening Policy requires PRCs normally to be
renewed every three years, however, when a volunteer changes
council, a PRC may be requested earlier at the discretion of the
council.
Completing the Adult Application and Screening Process will
ensure we have the right people serving our Youth with purpose of
providing them with a safe environment to enjoy the Scouting
Program.
If there is a problem getting PRCs in a timely manner for a
critical "new team member" please contact the CED directly, providing the
name and phone number of the Police Services person responsible
for PRCs, and we will try and work it out.
Each completed Adult form must be signed by the Group or
Commissioner, and be submitted immediately to the Council
office.
Any questions, please contact
