I'm sure as parents/adult leaders these requirements are good safeguards
to have in place for our kids' safety and protection. If you have not
completed your training requirements, let's all do our part to comply and be properly trained! As the Boy Scouts of America proclaims, "YOUTH Protection Begins with YOU!"
