How we do things safely

Scouts continuously reviews its safety policies, training, processes and guidance – discover how we keep young people safe

Keeping young people safe is our primary aim in Scouts. Having fun, doing adventurous and new things comes a close second. This means we review and improve member guidance and support to keep Scouts as free from risk as reasonably possible.

We regularly review and improve our:

  • Basic training requirements, as well as safety and safeguarding training
  • Policies, including safety and safeguarding
  • Guidance and rules for managing risk
  • Ways of supporting you if you have any concerns locally about a young person or volunteer.
