9th Worcester Hallow Scout Group Shooting Form

Activity Information and Parental Permission Form – Target Shooting .

Written parental permission is needed before a young person can take part in shooting activities.
Please take the time to read the below information. If you have any questions about this Activity, please contact us @ gsl@9thworcesterscouts.org for more information

1. Section 21 and what it means
1. A person who has been sentenced (to custody for life or) to preventive detention, or to imprisonment or to corrective training for a term of three years or more (or to youth custody (or detention in a young offender institution) for such a term), or who has been sentenced to be detained for such a term in a young offenders’ institution in Scotland, shall not at any time have a firearm or ammunition in his possession.

2. A person who has been sentenced to imprisonment for a term of three months or more but less than three years (or to youth custody (or detention in a young offender institution) for such a term), or who has been sentenced to be detained for such a term in a detention centre or in a young offenders’ institution in Scotland, shall not at any time before the expiration of the period of five years from the date of his release have a firearm or ammunition in his possession.

2. Where can I find the activity information for shooting sessions?
The form on this page only covers your permission for your Young Person to take part.

Any and all activity information should have been provided by your section leader already, or will be in the near future. Please use the date information from this to complete the form below.

2. Where can I find the activity information for shooting sessions?
Permission for shooting activities cannot be covered with a ‘blanket’ permission form, and has to be event specific. This means that individual shooting taster sessions will all need their own permission acknowledgement. Just because you have provided permission in the past, doesn’t mean we can take your Young Person shooting again…

The only exception to this would be courses, where shooting sessions happen over a period of 6-8 sessions. Permission can cover the entire course in a single form, so don’t worry if your Troop wants to run the Master at Arms badge, you won’t need to complete the below forms 8 times!

Once you have read and understood the above, please complete the form below to give your permission for your Young Person to take part in this activity
