So what’s changed?
Simplified to support volunteers in the steps you need to take in an emergency
It matches our new, revised Safety Learning
It now actually fits inside your wallet, with a digital wallet version coming soon!
It will sync with new Safety Checklists when they’re released later in 2026
What do you need to know?
There are 5 easy steps designed to be simple: stay safe, help if you can, raise the alarm, keep everyone safe, and report.
Teamwork really matters: no one person needs to manage an incident along
Getting help is important
Reporting is for learning and keeping people safe: by sharing how to do things better, it’s not about blame.
When should I be contacting UK HQ?
A fatality as a consequence of a Scouting activity
A likely hospital stay for 3 or more days
Multiple casualties from a reportable incident with overnight hospitalisation
Collapse of a significant structure, whether injury was suffered or not
