Nights away and having adventures is key to the Scouts achieving its aim of developing skills for life in young people.
With the excitement of being in new and unfamiliar environments young people often exhibit behaviour which is unusual or out of character for them. Young people will have increased freedom, gain a sense of independence and explore boundaries.
As we are out and about enjoying activity days and nights away activities we must remember that setting clear expectations relating to behaviour can reduce incidents and keep our members safe.
You can find all the guidance for volunteers on promoting positive behaviour during Scouts activities on https://www.scouts.org.uk/volunteers/staying-safe-and-safeguarding/supporting-life-issues-and-young-people/promoting-positive-behaviour/.
