The Nights Away Permit Scheme is an internal assessment scheme designed to ensure that all those leading nights away events for young people within Scouting have the skills, experience and personal suitability to do so.

Midlothian’s administrative arrangements

Nights away notifications and applying for a permit

We have now transferred over to the new system on the Scouts website: www.scouts.org.uk

Before submitting your NAN you will need to put together your risk assessment.

New permits and permit renewals must also use www.scouts.org.uk.
