The New SAFE Scouting Guide

<p>Job one of any scout leader is to run a safe program. In the past, we had the “Sweet 16” of BSA Safety in the Guide to Safe Scouting to refer back to. Now we have the SAFE Scouting guide to help us remember safety in our unit's activities. <u>S</u>upervision, <u>A</u>ssessment, <u>F</u>itness, <u>E</u>quipment, and environment. This guidance should be encouraged to be used and referred to when organizing activities and projects. It will help prepare a unit for uninspected issues that may come up. Leaders should do all they can to prevent unsafe activities from occurring. They should also be prepared for unforeseen events and always have a backup plan. We should do all we can to avoid risk and mediate inappropriate activities. We know that running a safe event makes it a fun event that everyone wants to participate in.</p> <p>💁‍♂️ For additional information and links mentioned in this podcast.
