Online Scout Manager (OSM)

What is Online Scout Manager (OSM)?

As a modern, active Scout Group, we use Online Scout Manager (OSM) to keep our administration running smoothly.

Think of OSM as our secure, all-in-one digital hub. It is the behind-the-scenes system that our leaders use to plan amazing activities, track progress, and securely manage member information. Most importantly, it includes a dedicated Parent Portal designed to make your life easier and keep you completely connected to your child's Scouting journey.

What Does OSM Do For You?

Through the secure Parent Portal, you have full control and visibility over your child’s Scouting experience. Here is how it helps:

• Manage Personal Details: Easily update medical conditions, dietary requirements, and emergency contact details so our leaders always have the right information.

• Track Badges & Progress: See exactly which badges your child has earned, what they are currently working on, and what they need to do next to complete their awards.

• Event Signup & Calendar: View our upcoming term schedule, sign up for camps and day trips, and see all the details in one convenient place.

• Hassle-Free Payments: Safely pay for term subs, camp fees, and events online via secure direct debit or card payments. No more hunting around for loose change!

• Stay In The Loop: Receive direct emails and updates from your section leaders about weekly meetings and special announcements.

Safe, Secure, and GDPR Compliant

We take data privacy very seriously. OSM is fully GDPR compliant and uses industry-standard encryption. Your data is strictly secure, visible only to authorized leaders within our group, and is never shared with third parties.

Getting Started: When your child joins our Group, you will receive an automated invitation email with a secure link to set up your OSM Parent Portal account. It takes less than two minutes to get started!
