Preventing Gaming and Gambling Harms
Ygam & The Scout Association
Recognising the unique reach and influence of The Scouts, Ygam embedded its preventative education by redesigning key elements of the Sports Enthusiast badge curriculum, with the Ygam logo featured on a special edition badge awarded to those who complete it. This included three bespoke resources that support the activities required to achieve the badge within the Scouts’ informal learning framework.
The pioneering partnership has so far empowered over 50,000 young people with the tools and knowledge to make informed choices and prevent gaming and gambling harms—enabling them to navigate the digital world safely. Ygam’s free specialist training also equips Scout leaders across all regions of the UK with the skills and confidence to deliver impactful sessions to the young people they support.
