Safety

All activities must be safely managed. You must complete a thorough risk assessment and take appropriate steps to reduce risk. Use the safety checklist to help you plan and risk assess your activity. Always get approval for the activity, and have suitable supervision and an InTouch process.

You must run your activities in line with the Safeguarding Code of Conduct for Adults (Yellow Card) and report any concerns to the UK HQ Safeguarding Team.

Hiking and walking

Follow the guidance for activities in Terrain Zero, or the guidance from our adventurous activity pages.

Make it accessible

All Scout activities should be inclusive and accessible.
