Accessibility
The site has been built and tested using browershots. If something doesn’t work or you think it doesn’t look right please contact us and we’ll look into it.
We’ve tried to avoid using attachments requiring specific bits of software to open them, but just in case you can’t we’ve added a list of official “viewers†to this page. Downloading the software is solely at your own risk and we are not responsible if you get a virus or have computer problems as a result of downloading the viewers.
Opening PDF documents
The majority of new computers now come with Adobe Reader (sometimes called Adobe Acrobat) installed, if not don’t worry its free. If you’ve had Adobe Reader on your computer for a while (anything pre version 9.x) it is worth installing an update.
Viewing Word or Excel files
Microsoft Office is commonly found on most computers now, but some computers may have Microsoft Works, Corel or Lotus installed. The viewers let you view, copy or print a document but you can’t edit it without buying the full programme.
Videos
The site uses embedded videos from the official Scout Association or WOSM You Tube channels. If the videos don’t work, it is worth checking;
- You Tube is not blocked on your system. Some companies routinely block You Tube.
- Flash Player is installed and up to date – Get Flash Player here
The videos may not work on dial up or slower broadband connections.
