Safety and Behavior

Keeping Scouts safe comes first in everything Pack 214 does. Here’s how we do it, and what we ask of every family.

At a glance

Every registered adult leader completes Scouting America’s Safeguarding Youth Training, every year.
Parents are always welcome at Pack meetings and events.
Campouts and popcorn storefront shifts aren’t drop-off events. A parent or guardian stays with their Scout.
Pack contacts go to shared Pack email accounts, not to one leader’s personal email.

Youth protection

Pack 214 follows Scouting America’s youth protection policies at every meeting and event. Read Scouting America’s youth protection guide for parents and the Guide to Safe Scouting, which covers the safety rules for every Scouting activity.

Behavior

Our expectations for Scouts and how the Pack handles problems are in the Pack 214 Behavior Policy (PDF).

Campouts and overnights

A Scout sleeps only in a tent with their own parent or legal guardian, and Scouts don’t go into other families’ tents. Other adults, like grandparents, need their own tent and have extra Scouting America requirements. See the Camping Packing List for all the camp rules.

Photos and privacy

On this website, we never publish a Scout’s last name. Please don’t post pictures of other families’ children online without their parent’s OK. Read our Privacy Policy.

Have a concern?

If a child is in immediate danger, call 911. For any other safety concern about the Pack, email [email protected] or [email protected]. Scouting America’s youth protection page explains how to report a concern to Scouting America directly.

Every person on a campout also needs a Scouting America medical form on file with the Pack.
