S.A.F.E. Guarding Youth Training

Scouting safely is our top priority and Chief Seattle Council and Scouting America are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all. To further our commitment to safety, Scouting America has launched the new Safeguarding Youth Training replacing Youth Protection Training and should be used when renewing your training or when applying for initial training as a Scouting Adult (18 and older).

This training is mandatory for all registered adult volunteers and has been developed with insights from leading experts in child safety, law enforcement, and child psychology. This updated training reinforces a culture of active supervision, situational awareness, and safety, ensuring we are all equipped to help keep our Scouts safe.

Course Details:

  • Duration: 90 minutes
  • Available in English and Spanish
  • Requirements: Complete all lessons, and score 80% or higher on the final test.
S.A.F.E.
After completing the full course once, a 15-minute refresher and retest is required each year to stay current. If you’ve already completed Youth Protection Training (YPT), your certification remains valid. However, all volunteers will be required to take the new Safeguarding Youth Training within the next 12 months.
