Let’s keep each other Safe from Harm!

In Scouting, we’re committed to ensuring a safe environment for our young members and volunteers. This week we will be raising awareness about our Safe from Harm procedures and how we can continue to ensure the safety of the children and young people we serve in South Africa and globally.

How do we keep our members safe?

As an organisation we take great care to ensure that children and young members are kept safe. From police clearance checks, to a clear child protection policy, safe Scouting policy and open avenues for all members to raise concerns or complaints.

Adult volunteers are required to know the content of these documents and therefore they are included in our Warrant Training courses.
