Electrical Safety First

Inspiring a new generation to put electrical safety first

We’re proud to partner with the Scouts to inspire a new generation to put electrical safety first.

The activities in the Cubs Fire Safety Badge are updated and expanded to help young people to use their electrical gadgets safely and responsibly, identify unsafe electrical products, avoid risky trends, and understand how to stay safe around electricity.

We’re so excited to be working with the Scouts to bring education, training, and practical resources to their amazing network. Together, we’re helping to create switched-on kids who know how to stay safe in an electrical world — and maybe even pass on a few tips to their parents too!
