Scouting Safely
We want you to know that the safety of our youth, volunteers, staff, and employees is an important part of the Scouting experience. The Scouting program, as contained in our handbooks and literature, integrates many safety features. However, no policy or procedure will replace the review and vigilance of trusted adults and leaders at the point of program execution.
Make sure your unit is up-to-date on keeping Scouting safe for our youth.
