Are You Ready To Be A Part Of the Adventure?
Volunteers must complete youth protection procedures. Please read carefully. We ask that parents help the Pack run by volunteering for at least one activity during the year. Please submit the form at the bottom of this page and let us know how you might be able to help.
Youth Protection Policy
PURPOSE - For Parents and Youth to have fun they must first feel safe both with the environment and the people to whom they are entrusting the care and well being of their children.
Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Youth Protection Policy - The Basilica of Saint Mary Parish has a yearly charter with the Boy Scouts of America to use its Scouting Program as part of its youth ministry program. While Pack 301 belongs to the Parish, Pack 301 also agrees to abide by the BSA’s program and its policies. The following is a short list of BSA policies:
- Youth Protection Training - BSA requires all registered adult leaders to submit a BSA Adult Application and complete the BSA’s Youth Protection Training. Tiger Adult Partners are registered with their youth but are not registered members of the BSA and do not have to complete an Adult Application or BSA’s Youth Protection Training.
- Two Deep Leadership - A minimum of two registered adult leaders, or one registered leader and a participating Scout’s parent, or another adult are required for all trips, outings, and meetings. One of these adults must be 21 years of age or older.
Frequently Asked Questions
|
As a Lion or Tiger Adult Partner can I participate in Den and Pack activities while my application is being reviewed?
Lion and Tiger Adult Partners who have been granted the 45-day temporary waiver may participate in Den and Pack activities while their application review is being completed. The BSA requires that Lion and Tiger Adult Partners participate in the program with their youth. Since these adults will be spending substantial time with both their child and other children, these adults must be compliant with the Diocesan PGC Program. |
Will my Lion or Tiger Scout miss out on the program because it takes too long to complete the paperwork?
No. Cub Scouting is a combination of Family, Den, and Pack activities. While Lion and Tiger Adult Parents are waiting to complete the Protecting God’s Children Program there are a number of Adventures they can complete within the family. During this time the youth can work on his Bobcat requirements (learning the Scout Oath, Scout law, Scout Motto, etc). There are also elective belt loops youth can work on as a family while the paperwork is processing. Lion and Tiger Den Leaders will be in constant contact with families to ensure they have the help they need during this time. |
