Youth Protection
The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs.
Leadership Selection
The Boy Scouts of America takes great pride in the quality of our adult leadership. Being a leader in the BSA is a privilege, not a right. The quality of the program and the safety of our youth members call for high-quality adult leaders. We work closely with our chartered organizations to help recruit the best possible leaders for their units.
The adult application requests background information that is checked by the unit committee and the chartered organization before accepting an applicant for unit leadership. Troop 14 requires full compliance with all BSA National Standards, a full CORI check and successful completion of St Mary's Protecting Gods Children program to be considered for any leadership position and to engage in any scout program or any scout event.
