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 & leadership selection policies and provides parents & leaders with resources for all Scout programs.

We highly encourage ALL parents to take the online YOUTH PROTECTION GUIDELINES (YPG) training which is well worth a moment of your time.

It's simple:  go to MyScouting.org & create an account.  Click on E-Learning & take the Youth Protection training.  Upon completion, you may print a certificate of completion for your records.
