The Scout Association

It has been over five years since The Scout Association and Chubb Fire joined forces to re-launch the Fire Safety Badge. 

Since the start of the initiative, over 60,000 Scouts have been awarded the coveted badge, which means 60,000 youngsters have an effective escape plan in place for their homes should an accident occur.  

Many more have taken part in the extremely popular live fire demonstrations up and down the country, or entered one of three national competitions.

To find out the latest news and competition information visit the Chubb Fire website.

Basic Guide to Fire Safety for Scout Premises

The above guide has been designed and produced by Chubb Fire to assist persons responsible for fire safety within a Scout premises.  It provides basic information on what a fire risk assessment is and how you might go about it.  It also provides further guidance on fire precautions to help reduce the risk of a fire starting and also to persons should a fire occur within the Scout Hall or other place where Scout meetings are held.  It has been provided by Chubb Fire as part of the sponsorship of the Scouts' Fire Safety Badge.   It is intended as a guide on how to complete a basic fire risk assessment and does not constitute a full fire risk assessment.
