Safety and Insurance

Safety and Insurance

Always be mindful of safety, using games and activities appropriate to the ages involved. Avoid situations where a twelve year old Scout is knocking into a six year old Beaver Scout in active games. The consequences are obvious.

Buildings with a large hall and two or three small rooms available for group work are ideal.

Consider other facilities, space, materials, furniture and toilets.

Groups operating an Integrated Section only have adequate insurance cover if approved by the District Commissioner as detailed in Policy, Organisation and Rules.
