Youth
Protection Training
Because of the great concern the Boy Scouts of America has for the problem of child abuse in our society, the Youth Protection program has been developed to help safeguard both our youth and adult members. Published and videotaped materials have been prepared to give professionals and volunteers information on the resources available for educating our membership about child abuse - how to avoid it, how to identify it, and how to deal with it.
These materials and VHC training programs are designed to give parents and their children basic information that will increase their awareness and sense of personal power to assist in their own self-protection.

Effective June 1, 2010, Youth Protection Training is required of all registered volunteer leaders in the Boy Scouts of America. This training must be retaken every two years.
