Please read this carefully.
Discord is a communication platform. This by its nature has risks associated with it. At
Newcastle district scouts we will do everything we can to keep our server a safe place for
district cubs, scouts, explorers, and leaders.
However we are unable to moderate and control the entire system. On Discord you can private
message (DM) other people. We as leaders cannot moderate this. Because of this and some other
ways, we can only moderate the server on a best attempt basis.
Our recommendations for staying safe are the following:
- When using discord try and keep to public channels on the district server at all
times.
- Never private message someone you don't know in person
- Report anything you find suspicious to a moderator immediately.
As a parent or guardian please read the following follow link from the

child to get access to the District's Discord server.
