Safety

It is the policy of The Scout Association to safeguard the welfare of all Members by protecting them from physical, sexual and emotional harm.

More information about Young People First, the Scout Association’s child protection policy can be found on Scoutbase. 

Activity Safety

Safety is paramount, and therefore all activities are risk assessed to ensure that they are safe to carry out.  Where appropriate, all relevant safety equipment for an activity will be provided.  Where personal equipment is required, the participants will be notified well in advance.

The Scout Association carries a very comprehensive personal accident policy that covers all its members whilst on Scouting activities.
