Compass

Please remember that it is your responsibility to keep your personal details up to date on the database. So, if your contact details change, remember to let us know! You can edit your details yourself by logging on to Compass. This will ensure you receive the information you need, are kept up to date and informed of what’s going on.

Because it is important that you are kept informed of UKHQ will send you information relevant to your role in scouting, this will include things like information on the programme, events, rules, guidance, and safety. But due to the General Data Protection Regulations they won’t be able to tell you automatically about exclusive member offers unless you say yes to hearing from them. 

In order to receive these you need to take action now if you don’t you will receive the essentials but will not have access to member-only discounts, exclusive opportunities, competitions and special offers.

You can update all your national communications preferences by following these five easy steps:

1. Use your membership number to sign in to Compass.
2. Click on the ‘My Profile’ tab and then the ‘Communications Preferences’ tab (see this how-to if you can’t find it)
3. Click the ‘yes’ option to the communications and benefits you’d like to receive
4. Double check that your email address is correct and that your main role is set to ‘primary’ on the ‘Roles’ tab  
5. To ensure you receive essential communications for your specific role, make sure you’re using an email address on Compass that is unique to you (so if you currently share one with someone in your family who is also a member of the Scouts, make sure you update it to an email address only you use.)
