Staying Safe from Harm at the World Scout Conference

Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all participants is a top priority at World Scouting Events. Our commitment to creating a safe, friendly, and inclusive environment is embodied in the Safe from Harm framework. Explore this page to learn about the many ways that we’re advancing safeguarding at the Conference.

Duty of participants

All participants attending the World Scout Conference are expected to:

1

Adhere to the updated Code of Conduct at all times during the event and in conference-related activities before and after.

2

Complete the mandatory Safe from Harm online courses for the World Scout Conference, which will be made available in the coming months. A certificate of completion will be required for participants to access the Conference venue. 
Any breach of the Code of Conduct will trigger a range of actions that could result in disciplinary action, including being removed from the Conference.
