Youth Protection
Protecting the safety of the youth involved in Scouting is of paramount importance and we take the safety and security of our Scouts very seriously.
Scouts BSA has developed materials for use in the Scouting program that provide essential information to Scouts and their families. A detachable booklet in the front of each Cub Scout Handbook" provides information to help families increase self-protection skills. Scouts also complete “cyberChip” training each year designed to help them understand how to safely use the Internet.
Our Pack is committed to following all guidelines of the BSA’s Youth Protection program. "Two deep" leaders and the "buddy" system are always enforced for all Pack and Den activities. Parent attendance and participation is strongly encouraged at all meetings and outings ensures that these guidelines are met.
To take the online Youth Protection Training course go to my.Scouting.org, create an account, and select E-learning. The Youth Protection Training course list is at the bottom of the page. Once completed please save the certificate electronically or print off and submit to the Cubmaster.
Every adult who attends a Cub Scout summer camp is required to take Youth Protection Training, and we encourage all other adults to complete the training as well.
