Youth Protection – our Mission

True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth Protection volunteers and professionals to work within the Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels. 

Please Note: EVERY registered leader must take the updated youth protection by the end of September, 2018.  This certification is then good for 2 years.

Visit the Kasperson Center for Scouting (850 Forest Edge Drive, Vernon Hills) where we will host Youth Protection Training periodically on the following Saturday mornings:  

June 16, July 21, August 11, PLUS, September 8 and 15 and 22!

Registration is open – And, we take walk-ins too!   Please arrive promptly for a 9:30 AM start.  Expect to finish by 11:00.
