How are prospective leaders screened, and what safety precautions does Scouts Canada have in place?
Prospective leaders must undergo a stringent screening process. This includes a Police Records Check, a Screening Interview plus three personal references. Until the screening procedure is fully complete and signed off, individuals may not participate with children. Our thorough Risk Management policies include “two-deep leadership”, which means there must always be two registered leaders present with any number of children. Leaders are well versed in risk management and our Duty of Care during their training process.
