Youth Protection

BSA Youth Protection Training is now required for at least one adult present during any event or activity. Further, every adult participating in nationally sponsored events and activities must be trained in BSA Youth Protection.

Online Training

The BSA has created a free, online Youth Protection Course that makes it easy for most parents to complete it. An internet connection and about 20 minutes are all you need to help ensure we have enough trained adults to complete this year's events.
