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
