BSA SAFETY MOMENT
Incident Reporting
SUMMARY: The 4-1-1 on Incident Reporting Policies
Timely and complete incident reporting provides the BSA with an opportunity for analysis of incidents that occur and promotes continuous improvement of our programs. In our experience, the sooner a clear, concise, and complete incident report is made, the sooner that an appropriate response to the incident can occur.
GENERAL INFORMATION
What is an incident? There are three types of re-portable incidents:
  • Near Miss—A near miss does not result in injury, illness, or damage, by definition, but it had the potential to do so.
  • General Liability—Events or allegations of injury, illness, or property damage, including employment, director, and officer issues.
  • Youth Protection/Membership Infraction—Allegations of abuse, violations of BSA guidelines or policies, or inappropriate behavior by a Scout/Scout leader/parent/other.
