Youth Protection Training

We recently received an update about the status of Youth Protection Training in Northeast Region 3. As you know, EVERYONE involved in Scouting should be trained. Of the 10 councils in the region, we are closest to that requirement, coming in at 98% compliance. As for the other 9 councils 3 are in the 90s, 5 are in the 80s, and 1 is in the 70s.

Kudos to our team who ensure our compliance -- our office staff, the district execs, the district chairs, and unit leaders.

Our goal for the next year is to get to 100% compliance and be one of the handful of councils across the nation to achieve that. It's a good goal to have and it's the right thing to do: Youth Protection is not only required...but it's paramount to running a good and safe program!
