Scouts Australia has issued an apology to those who were sexually abused as children by members of its organisation.
In a statement, the organisation says the apology is part of Scouts Australia's commitment to acknowledging and addressing the harm some members suffered in the wake of the royal commission into child abuse.
Scouts Australia has signed up to a national redress scheme that came into force in July, while senior members have met with survivors around the country to make personal apologies.
In a video released on social media, Chief Commissioner Phil Harrison has promised to make amends.
