Leader of the Pack Incentive

We know how hard it can be to find Den Leaders. The Leader of the Pack Incentive is to help provide a blueprint of healthy activities for a unit to install. Check quarterly and those units that earn 38 points or more will receive a $75 credit on there unit account. The ultimate goal is to help get more Den Leaders involved in return providing better quality programming. Just think if each den was filled and you had 6 grade levels. That would be six individual den leaders. Maybe you’re a family pack that would equate to 7-12 den leaders. Sometimes a Cubmaster or Committee Chair are busy doing two roles when they already have an important job to do, let alone also serving as Den Leader.

New Youth Safety Webpage

This new webpage within Scouting.org offers an easy-to-navigate overview of our Youth Protection policies using language and visuals that help the general public or those who are new to Scouting understand what the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) does to help keep kids safe. This webpage does not replace the pre-existing Youth Protection page; instead, it offers an overview of our policies in a simplified version for those who may not be familiar with our terminology or program details. It also features expert testimonials, public access to our Youth Protection Training modules without the need to create a My.Scouting account, and clarifications of top misconceptions.
