As Youth Protection Month comes to a close, it’s a good time to review the data we’ve collected so far from one of our Preview Adventures, Protect Yourself Rules.
The BSA is committed to youth safety, so before your 2020 annual registration can be processed, you’ve got to review the disclosure documentation and sign a background check authorization.
Even those Scout leaders who took the previous version of Youth Protection training must log into My.Scouting.org and complete the new Youth Protection course. You have until Oct. 1, 2018, to do so.
While no Scouter questions the value of Youth Protection training and policies — we all agree on the need to keep young people safe — some Scouters have asked for clarification about implementation.
