Child Safe Scouting
Every child and young person has the right to feel safe, be heard and be respected.
Our commitment
1st Edithvale Scout Group operates under Scouts Victoria’s child-safety policies, procedures and Code of Conduct. The safety and wellbeing of children and young people comes before program, convenience or tradition.
Safe adults
Adult volunteers complete the checks, screening and training required for their roles and must follow Scouts Victoria’s behavioural standards.
Youth voice
Young people are encouraged to speak up, take part in decisions and tell a trusted adult if something does not feel right.
Inclusive Scouting
Every young person has the right to be respected and included regardless of background, identity, culture, faith or ability.
Clear reporting
Concerns are taken seriously and handled through the current Scouts Victoria reporting and escalation process.
