Youth Protection
| Because of the great concern the Boy Scouts of America has about the problem of child abuse in our society, Youth Protection has been developed to safeguard both our youth and our adult members. All adult leaders should take Youth Protection training every two years. For course availability, contact your District Executive or the Scout Service Center at 864-233-8363. |
| Youth Protection Online Training |
| This course takes the place of the Adult Training Courses listed below. For registered BSA volunteers, this online course will record Youth Protection as completed in their file. This is a multimedia presentation so the faster internet connection, the better. Also, be sure to turn your speakers on. |
