Youth Protection Policy
Youth Protection policies are central to the BSA’s commitment to keeping our members safe. Every adult volunteer must complete Youth Protection Training when they register and must retake it every two years. Youth and adult handbooks also provide information on Youth Protection, as does the BSA website.
