Scouting America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the Scouting America developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the Cub Scout program.

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 Scouting America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.

Youth Protection & New Members: Pack 923 requests that all new parent members take the ‘Youth Protection Training’ (offered online at no charge) so that there is full awareness of all Scouting America policies and procedures related to Youth Protection. Those who volunteer to be an Adult Leader are required to take this course. Adult registrations cannot be completed without the certificate. Be ready to print out the certificate at the end and give a copy to the Pack Cubmaster. Detailed information and training link can be found at: www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx
