Keeping your child safe in Scouting

We know that young people thrive in safe surroundings. We are therefore committed to ensuring that Scouting is both enjoyable and safe for everyone who takes part.
Find out how we keep your child safe with our booklet - Safe and Sound.

Adults in Scouting

One of the biggest myths about Scouting is that Groups are closing down due to a lack of young people wanting to become Members. Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact, Scouting in the UK is growing. We’re always looking for adults to help support Scouting. Find out more about how you could help.

Case studies

It’s easy for parents to get involved in Scouting. Here are some different experiences of parents who have enjoyed helping out.

Parents’ family information form

Why not let your child’s Leader know what skills and hobbies you have so they can match these to the Section programme? They can then invite you to share something you enjoy. Download the family information form.
