Reporting incidents through Scouting America’s Riskonnect system is a critical component of the “culture of care” that protects scouts, volunteers, and the organization’s future. By documenting accidents, illnesses, or near-misses, you provide the National Council with the essential data needed to identify safety trends and develop targeted training to prevent similar occurrences.
To report an incident, visit the official Scouting America Safety webpage and locate the Incident Reporting portal, which links directly to the Riskonnect platform. You will be prompted to select the appropriate category—such as General Liability, Membership Infraction, or Youth Protection—and fill out a digital form detailing the “who, what, when, and where” of the event. Submitting these reports promptly ensures a factual record is preserved while details are fresh, facilitating timely insurance processing and legal protection for all parties involved.

The Scouting America Incident Landing Page has information and resources about navigating and reporting incidents, but the link to the online portal is not obvious.
The heading is the hyperlink to the portal as shown in the image below:

Also please note that even though the landing page indicates that “If the situation is not an emergency, please reach out to your local council to report the incident”, Occoneechee Council’s method of reporting IS the Riskonnect portal.
