Discord The scout troop is rolling out a discord server for all the scouts in the group.Discord is a communication platform that allows groups to create and moderate their own servers. This server will be open to all scouting members in the 1st Ben Rhydding Scout Troop and will be moderated by our leaders and young leaders. The aim of this platform is to allow the scouts to communicate and collaborate with each other as well as to keep up to date with scouts and what we’re doing, outside of our normal meeting times, but in a safe and moderated environment.As with all online platforms there is a risk that comes with it. However as we can monitor and moderate our own server space we can ensure that the Scout server remains safe and moderated as much as possible, and is only accessible by our own members.For more information on discord and the risks involved take a look at the UK Safer Internet Centre page here.Everyone on the server will have to verify using their OSM account to gain access to the server meaning that we can ensure that everyone on our server is definitely a scout in our group, and we will know exactly who is who.If you have any difficulties or have any questions feel free to email tech@1stbr.org.uk or once connected to the discord server you can also just direct message scoutbot to get help.
