The Sunbury Scout Code
Our shared values keep every trade safe, fair, and truly local.
Public Safety Commitment
The 5 Safety Pillars
🪪 Identity
Every Scout and Maker is a verified human. No anonymous accounts. Real names, real neighbours.
🏛️ Public Handshakes
All exchanges take place at Official Handshake Centres — public, well-lit, community-endorsed venues. Never at private addresses.
🔒 Escrow Protection
Payments are held securely until both parties confirm the Handshake is complete. Funds are never released early.
🤝 Vouching
Community members vouch for each other after every trade. Trust is earned, visible, and community-verified.
🛡️ Community
A dedicated Scout moderates every suburb. Concerns are reviewed within 24 hours. We never leave you alone.
Be Neighbourly
Treat every Maker and Scout with the same respect you would show a next-door neighbour. Use kind language in the chat.
Quality First
Only list items you would be proud to gift a friend. No mass-produced or prohibited items.
Punctuality Matters
If you agree to a Handshake at The Nook, show up on time. Respect our partner café hours.
Safe Spaces
Always use the Official Handshake Centres unless both parties agree otherwise. Never share your home address.
