Safety Moments

Using a Safety Moment in Scouting Activities

Safety Moments are exactly what the name implies: opportunities to prepare for an activity, review safety measures and report incidents correctly. Topics of this new series include incident reporting helps, safe use of medication in Scouting, weather-related safety, winter activity, and winter sports. 

If a Safety Moment is for Adult Audience Only, it will be indicated at the top of the Safety Moments page.
