The first time at Scouts. The first hike. The first overnight camp away from home.

All of these moments are great for developing young people’s confidence, but we know how daunting it can be to be the one packing their overnight bag and waving them off at the gates. And we know it doesn’t necessarily get easier as they grow.

Young people thrive in secure surroundings, at home and away.

Wherever we go, we’re serious about keeping them safe.

As a parent or carer, you’re bound to have questions about how we ensure safety in Scouting. Read on to find out more.

Everyone has the right to feel safe
