Child Safety

The safety of our children is the most important part of the Scouting program. We are committed to providing a fun, educational, and secure environment for all of our Cub Scouts and their families. To achieve this, we follow Scouting America’s rigorous policies and have trained adult leaders who are prepared to handle any situation. Our leaders are trained adults who are obligated to intervene in unsafe situations.

Safeguarding Youth Training

To ensure that every member of our pack understands and practices the latest safety protocols, Scouting America requires all adult volunteers to complete Safeguarding Youth Training. This training is designed to teach leaders and parents how to protect youth from harm and build a safe culture within our pack.

How to Get Trained

You do not need to be a registered volunteer to take this training. It is free and available to the public. To take the Safeguarding Youth Training, please visit my.scouting.org and create an account.

Two-Deep Leadership

Pack 100 provides a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for everyone involved. Scouting America guidelines require that at least two registered adult leaders, or one registered leader and a participating Scout’s parent, or another adult, are always present at all Scouting activities.

Pack and Den Meetings

All Cub Scouts must be escorted to and from the meeting room. For the safety of the children, we ask that you do not drop off or pick up your Cub Scout in front of the building. Cub Scouts must also follow the Buddy System at all times.

Scout Behavior

The Scout Oath and Scout Law are our guiding principles for behavior. We expect all Cub Scouts to conduct themselves with respect and discipline. If a Scout is unwilling to follow the requirements of the adult leaders, a parent may be required to come and get the Cub Scout.

Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Use

In keeping with the values of Scouting America, the use of alcoholic beverages, controlled substances, and tobacco products (including e-cigarettes and vaping) is prohibited at all Scouting activities involving youth participants.

Knife Use by Cub Scouts

Cub Scouts can earn the right to carry a pocketknife at Scouting activities by completing the requirements for the Whittling Chip award. This program teaches them the safe and responsible use of a pocketknife. Failure to follow the safety guidelines will result in the suspension of this privilege.
