Youth Protection and Mandatory Reporting

Scouts BSA joins many other organizations in recognizing the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.  During this month, we’ll be highlighting crucial program aspects to ensure youth safety.   Child abuse is an uncomfortable topic but an important one for us to cover to ensure the safety and well-being of our Scouts and leaders. If you think any of the BSA’s Youth Protection policies have been violated, including those described within Scouting’s Barriers to Abuse, there are specific actions that must occur.  Please read more about these critical responsibilities.
