Youth Protection

Scouting is considered to be a “safe haven” for everyone…adults & youth alike.

The pack (& the BSA) has a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who places a child in an unsafe or compromising situation.

All registered leaders must complete BSA Youth Protection Training. This training must be renewed annually per BSA policy.

All adult volunteers and parents are strongly encouraged to complete BSA Youth Protection Training.  This training is available online at:  http://www.scouting.org/nav/enter.jsp?s=xx&c=yp

The pack will strictly adhere to information provided in the Youth Protection Training program.

No adult will be alone with any child (unless the child is his/her son or daughter). Children will only be allowed to sleep in tents with their parents. Pack leaders must report suspected child abuse to the proper authorities immediately per BSA policy.
