The Scout Association's Child Protection policy is known as the 'Young People First' policy. It's often referred to as the "yellow card" policy because of the pocket sized reminder card all adults are asked to keep and carry with them.

The 'Young People First' policy is held up as an example of best practice and praised by the child protection agencies. The Scout Association also enjoys the confidence and trust of thousands of parents who each week place their children in our care.

All adults that have a role in Scouting, including leaders, assistants, helpers, skills instructors, committee members and occasional helpers undertake full enhanced CRB checks.

In addition, those taking an active and regular part in running Scouts, are interviewed by the District Appointments Committee to assess whether they are suitable to undertake the role that they are working in.

There are regular training courses for leaders detailing child protection issues, how to manage it, and what to do to ensure that all children in Scouting are safe.
