How long do we retain the information for?
The information gathered shall be used solely for the purposes of the Big Beaver Birthday 2026 event. We shall retain the information until we have concluded the organisation of the event.

Any personal data shall be removed on or before the end of December 2026. In some cases where medical treatment has been required and our parent organisation (The Scout Association) requires us to do so, we shall retain offline copies of relevant medical information for the duration required by these organisations.
