All key staff* Update: "The BSA has created this facilitator-led syllabus with accompanying PowerPoint presentation for BSA camp directors and program directors to train camp staff members. This course covers how to prevent, recognize, respond to, and report inappropriate youth-on-youth behavior. "Understanding and Preventing Youth-on-Youth Abuse Training for Camp Staff, No. 430-149 replaces Camp Staff Youth Protection Training, No. 430-149 and meets the requirements of NCAP Standard SQ-402 B." The new Understanding and Preventing Youth-on-Youth Abuse Training for Camp Staff material is available at www.scouting.org/outdoor-programs/camp-accreditation. Camp directors are authorized to present this material to their key staff. Further, camp directors are responsible for the record keeping regarding this presentation, i.e., the camp director will need a copy of the sign in sheet for their records. |
