How to start an SU Group - Scripture Union Scotland

Team Leaders’ Manual – School SU Groups
11.5 Out of School Activities
From time to time SU groups like to involve their group in out of school activities –
swimming/bowling/pizza night. We ask all groups running these kind of activities to submit an out
of school activity form. This is both for your protection and for the protection of the young people,
and ensures the SU duty staff member is aware of this activity taking place in the event of receiving a
phone call from you seeking help or advice. Taking your group away for a weekend is NOT covered
by these procedures and all SU residential events are led by approved residential leaders only. Your
local staff member will be able to provide you with information about a range of SU weekends and
holidays that will be available for your group to participate in.
