Over 60 Members of Parliament from both the Upper and Lower Houses were presented with their own NSW Scout scarves to demonstrate their support of Scouting in NSW and commitment to serving the communities in which Scouting operates. The event was followed by the launch of the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Scouting, which provides an opportunity for Members of Parliament to connect closely with Scouting and discuss ways to support Scouting both at a State level and within their own communities.

Youth Safe Forums
Throughout 2019-2020, Scouts NSW
continued to be recognised by the wider
community, including sporting and other
youth organisations across the State, for
the standards we place in safeguarding
our youth.
On 21 August 2019, Neville Tomkins
OAM JP was invited by the Australian
Human Rights Commission to speak
at the National Child Safeguarding
Forum about child safe developments
in Scouting. Joined by two Youth Safe
Advocates and our Child Protection
Team, the Chief Commissioner shared
Scouts NSW’s Child Safe Journey
with participants from various sectors
including sport and recreation, child and
family services, education, faith groups,
and health.
In September 2019, the Chief
Commissioner was invited to address the
Australian Government Department of
Defence’s Youth Safety Forum, speaking
about the importance of creating and
maintaining a child safe culture.
In February 2020, our Child Protection
Team attended the launch of the National
Children’s Commissioner’s Children’s
Rights Report. The report details the
ways in which children’s rights are
protected and promoted across Australia
and is indicative of Scouts NSW
