As we mark Pride this June, it is a time not only for celebration but also for reflection - on the progress made, the challenges that remain, and the role we play in fostering an inclusive and safe environment within Scouting Ireland.
Pride is a powerful reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality and acceptance for the LGBTQI+ community.
It’s a moment to recognise the history, resilience, and contributions of LGBTQI+ individuals, while also acknowledging the discrimination and barriers many still face today.
At Scouting Ireland, our commitment to safeguarding means more than protecting, it means actively creating spaces where everyone, feels welcome, respected, and empowered.
As we take part in Pride activities this month, let’s renew our dedication to inclusivity and equality. By standing together, we continue building a Scouting community where everyone can thrive, free from fear, and full of pride!
