Do realize that if you were being treated as a child molester you would not be allowed any contact with the kids or associated with First.

The primary & alternate contact is required to have a background check. Hence all the questions. Since you are dropping that position you don't need that & an email or phone call should work. Sort of a special case. Whomever takes up that mantle will go through the background check though.

Unfortunately the predators go where the youth are. So youth programs all need some sort of YPP. The First video is minimal. I have a three hour session this weekend for being associated with my church's youth group. I have to do two 1 hour different sessions every two years for scouting.
