1. Youth Protection

   1. All leaders must have Safeguarding Youth training.  It is highly recommended that parents take the training. You do not have to be registered. The principles of SYT are applicable outside of scouting. If you participate in an activity lasting more than 72 hours, you must be registered and take the Safeguarding Youth training.

2. Annual Health and Medical Record (AHMR)

   1. We must maintain current medical forms for everyone who attends camping and outdoor activities. (Leaders, Youth, and Parents). Please obtain an updated medical form (part C) at your annual doctor visit. Medicals expire at the end of the month, one year from when they are signed.
