Scouts BSA Update

Posted on Feb 22 2020 - 10:20pm

Message:

As you have probably read in the news, Scouts BSA filed for bankruptcy last week. You can read the message from national by following this link.

This decision by the national organization does not affect our local council or district. For our Troop we will continue with our planned campouts and high adventure treks.

Scouting is safer now than ever before. The safety of the children in our program is our absolute top priority. Youth protection is always top of mind and one instance of abuse is one too many. I would like to take this opportunity to remind our adults of what you can to do help protect our youth. First, take the Scouts BSA youth protection course. All our registered leaders must complete this course and test every two years. Second, discuss the content of the course with your scouts. Third, you and your scout must be vigilant and practice two-deep leadership. A scout should never be alone with an adult leader, including in all forms of communication like emails and texts. There should always be two registered adults at each event, and in the case of the girl troop, there should always be at least one adult female present at each event. You can access the youth protection training via this link, and if you do take it, please contact me so we can complete your registration: https://www.scouting.org/training/youth-protection/
