We're committed to:

• Taking the interests and well-being of young people into account, in all our considerations and activities.

• Respecting the rights, wishes and feelings of the young people with whom we work.

• Taking all reasonable practicable steps to protect them from neglect, physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

• Promoting the welfare of young people and their protection within a position of trust.

The Young People First code of practice (also known as the yellow card) sets out a code of behaviour for all adults in Scouts.
