YOUTH PROTECTIONS

Youth Protection Mission Statement

True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth Protection volunteers and professionals to work within the Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.

 

The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs.

 

For the purpose of this course, all staff, both youth and adults, are required to take both Scouting Youth Protection Training (YPT), and Venturing YPT. All Participants are highly encouraged to do the same.

When you complete your training, the best practice is to save it as a pdf file on your computer. If you completed your training a while ago, but didn't save your certificate, or have lost it. Here is how to reprint/save your certificate.
