Youth Protection

The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on providing the most secure environment possible for its youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA has developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with multiple online and print resources for all Scouting programs. All leaders are required to complete Youth Protection training. All parents are encouraged to take the training. Find out more at YPT for Cub Scout | Boy Scouts of America (scouting.org)
