Session 7 - Scouts International Activity Badge

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.

Online safety

• Supervise young people where possible when they’re online and give them advice about staying safe. As always, if you’ve got concerns about a young person’s welfare (including their online experiences), follow the Yellow Card reporting processes.

Phones and cameras

• Make sure parents and carers are aware and have given consent for photography. 

Electrical equipment

• Inspect cables for any damage before each use. An adult should supervise people using equipment, and people should follow instructions on how to use them correctly and safely. They should be properly maintained and stored.  Be extra cautious of trailing cables and water when using electric equipment.
