The following links will provide the requirements to be completed by each individual Scout family. Please let the Pack leadership know when you have completed the requirements so we can mark it as completed and your Cub Scout can receive their adventure belt loop or pin.
Personal Safety
All den levels include a required Cub Scout Adventure that is based on personal safety awareness. The content was developed by world-leading experts in the field of child abuse awareness and prevention in collaboration with the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center Foundation. The Protect Yourself Rules is presented in a short animated video. The content is designed to empower children on how to identify inappropriate situations and what they can do to keep themselves safe.
Watching the Protect Yourself Rules videos will be done by each Scout and his/her guardian at home. Please let the Pack leadership know when you have completed the requirements so we can mark it as completed and your Cub Scout can receive their adventure belt loop or pin. The other requirements for the personal safety awareness adventure will be complete by the den leader during a den meeting.
To realize the potential of Scouting, it is critical that we take all possible steps to create and maintain a safe environment for all who participate. That involves understanding personal boundaries and knowing what appropriate behaviors are in Scouting. Research indicates one of the best deterrents against child abuse is an open and continuous conversation between parents and their children.
