What is the code of conduct used at the Haarlem Jamborette?
The Haarlem Jamborette is organised under the conditions of Scouting Nederland, the national Scouting organisation of the Netherlands. We consider a safe physical and social environment for youth members and volunteers essential. The Scouting Nederland code of conduct clearly states -what is- and -what is not- desirable in interactions between volunteers and youth members. But of course, also for interaction between volunteers. You will find the code of conduct in the appendices as we use it.
Should a volunteer or youth member feel unsafe interacting with volunteers or other youth members, a confidential counselor is available to report the situation. In addition, we assume that each participating group has its own confidant within the group, where any unsafe situation can be discussed. At the start of the Jamborette, the sub-camp staff will inform the groups how the confidant can be called in.
