In Doncaster Scouts, we require all volunteers to use a Scouting email address issued by our Technology Team. Not only does this allow you to maintain a Scout/Life balance and but it also allows us demonstrate to parents that we take all reasonable steps to protect personal identifying information and comply with GDPR. It is important that you have access to this account so you don’t miss any important communication.

Login to your Scout Microsoft 365 Account
All volunteers in Mersey Weaver have an Microsoft 365 account. To login use the link below. If you need assistance setting you account up contact our Technology Team for support.
If you are not sure if you have access, you will either need to reset the password or if you’ve never had access, get in touch with the Technology Team. Ideally your line manager should have requested an account for you prior to attending a welcome meeting. If not you can ask a them or a colleague to request a new account for you.
New to Scouting and don’t have an account?
Your line manager or another leader in the district can request an account for you provided they have access to your profile in the Scout Membership System. The process is automated, so once your account is approved you will receive setup instructions and a text message with a temporary password.
