Step I - If behaviour by the Cub/Scout is deemed as ‘challenging’; i.e.- challenging the smooth running of the pack or troop, then that Cub/Scout or group of Cubs/Scouts, will be given a verbal warning by a leader. This will consist of being told to stop whatever they are doing and being warned of the consequences of continuing with the behaviour.

Examples of behaviour deemed as challenging-
Continual talking when a leader has asked for quiet
Deliberate breaking of the rules of a game.
Doing something after you have been told not to.
Continual slagging or harassment of another section member.
 

Step 2 - If the challenging behaviour of the Cub/Scout still continues after receiving a verbal warning to an unacceptable level, due to it now severely interrupting the smooth running of the Pack/Troop, the Cub/Scout will be issued with a yellow card. His name, details of issue will be noted by the section leader. The parent of the section member may also be contacted in some cases.

Certain behaviour of a more serious level will also result in immediate issue of a yellow card. Examples of this type of behaviour include-
Provoked use of physical violence. (Both parties receiving punishment)
Callus misuse causing damage to Scout Group property or equipment
Verbal assault of a leader.
Serious misconduct and unsportsman like behaviour during a game.
 
 

Step 3 - If the Cub/Scout commits a second yellow card offence, in the same night he will receive a red card. Again his name and details of issue will be noted and he not be allowed to take any further part in the Pack/Troop meeting. Then depending on the situation the section leader will either send for the parent/guardian to collect the child early. Sent the Scout home if he makes his own way to the Troop meeting, then contacting the parent/guardian to make them aware of why their son was sent home early. Or finally leave the Cub/Scout sitting in the Scouters room until the end of the meeting when he is to be picked up by his parent/guardian, then informing them of the situation on arrival.

Again certain offences would result in the immediate issue of a red card. Examples of these include-Totally unprovoked physical attack on another Cub/Scout or Leader. Blatant Vandalism of Scout Group property or equipment.
 

Suspension- If a Cub/Scout receives a red card, then that Cub/Scout on issue of his red card, will be suspended from the next Pack/Troop meeting.
 Furthermore he will not be allowed to attend any Scout Camps or Pack Holidays during that term. There are two terms in the year, they run from January to June and August to December. In some cases a letter of apology may also be requested by the section leader, especially if some outside party is involved in the red card offence.

Continual Offending- If the Cub/Scout is handed up to four yellow cards in a term without ever getting a red, then he will be suspended as highlighted above. The parents will be notified by the leader if this situation is begining to arrise at the latest on issue of the third yellow card.
 

Expulsion- If a Cub/Scout was suspended three times throughout their time as either a Cub or a Scout, then on issue of the third suspension, expulsion proceedings would be carried out This involves the Section Leader, Group Scout Leader and District Commissioner. Expulsion does not just involve expulsion from the 75th but also all Cub Packs and Scout Troops in the District We would hope that this situation would never arise.
