Youth Protection

The Boy Scouts of America has adopted strict policies, known as the Guide to Safe Scouting, to provide safety and security of its youth members. These policies are primarily for the protection of our youth members; however, many of them also serve to protect our adult leaders from false accusations of abuse. Click here for the online version of the current Guide to Safe Scouting.

In the front of each grade level handbook is a tear-out pamphlet entitled “How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse – A Parent’s Guide.” The reading of this tear-out pamphlet is a required part of your child’s advancement in the Cub Scouting program.
