No. The national council of the Boy Scouts of America issued a new policy requiring adults attending an event longer than 72 hours to be registered, pass a criminal background check, and be youth protection trained. However, all of our Cub Scout and Webelos summer camps are less than 72 hours in duration, so this new policy will not apply to these types of summer camps.


Adult Leadership Requirements for Cub Scout and Webelos Summer Camps

The minimum of two adult leaders (one of which needs to be BSA Registered) who will be staying at camp should have some camping and Scouting experience. Youth Protection training is also required of every adult leader. Units are also required to have one additional leader, 18 or older, for every 4 Scouts.


For example:

3 Scouts = 2 Adult Leaders (one of which needs to be BSA Registered)

8 Scouts = 2 Adult Leaders (one of which needs to be BSA Registered)

9 Scouts = 3 Adult Leaders (one of which needs to be BSA Registered)
