Lincolnshire Scouts can provide members with a number of digital accounts and applications to support their Scouting activity.

 

  • A scout email account so our youth member families and carers can be sure they are engaging in official Scouts communication.
  • Web based information and training to provide adult members with the knowledge and tools they need to deliver the Scouts programme to young people and fulfil their role
  • Facebook accounts to maintain a public presence and share the local adventure
  • Microsoft 365 Applications to connect and support Scouts as well as beyond the membership

 

You can also choose to use other tools such as Zoom, WhatsApp, Microsoft, Google and Messenger but whatever you choose, please make sure you and your trustees are aware and accepting of any risks.

  • Scout E-Mail Accounts

    We can provide all volunteers in Lincolnshire Scouts an e-mail address to use specifically for scouting.


    Subject to availability volunteers may be able to apply for a Microsoft 365 account, these are taken on a case by case basis and approved by the relevant Lead Volunteer/Team leader.


    To request an account please complete the New User request form.


    Please note that any account not signed into for 1 month may be suspended and/or deleted including all information in the account. If saving Group information, please use Teams/SharePoint.

    Lincolnshire Scouts provides Online Scout Manager for all groups in the County. For more information please contact the County Secretary.

  • Support with other Microsoft 365 Applications

    Further support with Microsoft 365 applications is available direct from Microsoft here.

  • Domain Services

    Lincolnshire Scouts can support with domain management for your Scout Group or Scout District to allow you to have personalised e-mail addresses on Microsoft 365 whilst pointing to your own website (or the County or a District website).


    In Scouting we often find that individuals purchase domains, registering it to themselves, which can cause issues, especially if those at Group/District level don't have the understanding/skills.


    Centrally managing these provides the benefits of having support from the County Team, supporting good governance and protection for your Group/District when volunteers move on or leave Scouting.


    To discuss using a domain for your group/district or transfer an existing one, please raise a ticket on the Service Desk.


    Have your own domain already? We can support you to add it to Mirosoft e-mail services and with domain management.
