Be warned – do not add under-18 year olds to Compass unless you are immediately ready to submit a DBS application. The 30-day clock starts ticking at once and when it expires there is a risk of under-18s being automatically DBS-suspended by HQ. Crazy but true…

See https://compasssupport.scouts.org.uk/?faq=adding-under-18-year-olds-to-compass for more details.

If you’ve done this by mistake, please contact the Information Centre at Gilwell to close the under-18’s appointment and avoid the DBS-suspension
