creating the most secure environment possible
for our youth members. All Cub Scout and Boy
Scout adult volunteers should take this course.
It covers the BSA's Youth Protection policies,
kinds of abuse, signs of abuse, how to respond
to disclosure of abuse, and proper reporting
procedures. It does so by taking you through
situations that require choices and produce
consequences. Successful completion of this
course requires an 80 percent or higher score.
If you take this test as a registered member of
the BSA and designate your local council, your
completion will be reported back to your council to

a certificate of completion.
