How are Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts volunteers handled?
Boy Scouts’ volunteers must provide written verification that they have had a criminal history screening for a history of child abuse or criminal convictions. Because they are chartered, the Boy Scouts’ volunteers must also attend STAND training, which includes the STAND video. Girl Scouts’ volunteers must provide written verification that they have had a criminal history screening. A Covered Entity may choose to offer assistance with the screening. 44. If a scout leader has completed a child and youth protection program through the scouting program, do they need to complete the volunteer requirements of the Archdiocese if they plan to volunteer at a Covered Entity? Training offered by other organizations: i.e. Boy Scouts of America, Little League, area public schools, etc. may not be substituted for the Archdiocese protection of children and youth training.
