Safeguarding Youth Training
Why SYT?
BSA Safeguarding Youth Mission Statement
True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Safeguarding Youth volunteers and professionals to work within Scouting America to maintain a culture of Safeguarding Youth awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.
Scouting America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, Scouting America developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, and Venturing programs.

Who Needs to Take SYT?
All Parents, including Den Leaders are required to take the new SYT course on the BSA Website. Even if you took it last year you MUST take it again.
New Scout parents, we can’t register your Scout without it being completed. Thank you for your dedication in protecting our youth!
For questions or concerns, contact the Cubmaster at cu*******@****94.com
