The National Guide to Safe Scouting The purpose of the Guide to Safe Scouting is to prepare adult leaders to conduct Scouting activities in a safe and prudent manner. The policies and guidelines have been established because of the real need to protect members from known hazards that have been identified through 90-plus years of experience. Limitations on certain activities should not be viewed as stumbling blocks; rather, policies and guidelines are best described as stepping-stones toward safe and enjoyable adventures.

Welcome to Sea Scouts Sea Scouts are very similar to any other Scout; they have the same aim but place a special emphasis on water and maritime training within their activities to achieve that aim. Water activities can provide the adventure that youngsters are looking for where skills and age do not necessarily correlate and provide an ideal opportunity for Scouts to teach each other. Sea Scouting is organized to promote better citizenship and to improve members' boating skills and knowledge through instruction and practice in water safety, boating skills, outdoor, social, and service experiences, and knowledge of our maritime heritage.

Girl Guide Association UK Girlguiding UK, as part of a worldwide Movement, enables girls and young women to fulfill their potential and to take an active and responsible role in society through its distinctive, stimulating and enjoyable program of activities delivered by trained volunteer leaders. Guides are individuals - and it is not Girlguiding UK's aim to make them conform to a standard mould. Each girl has her own talents, skills and interests - unique to her. Guiding challenges her to use and extend these abilities in a positive way. The scope and flexibility of the program, designed to meet the needs of each girl, reflect this emphasis on personal achievement. Guiding is about doing one's best, not about meeting set targets in a strict time limit. As Baden-Powell said, 'The only standard that counts is the amount of effort on the part of the individual.'
