Reporting Abuse/Sexual Abuse Training

[Al Skierkiewicz]

I was a boy scout leader when the training and standards were first coming into use. Although the adults on the team are not trained we do follow many of the Boy Scout guidelines. Other school rules also dovetail into the Boy Scout training. A simple list is this...
1. No 'one on one', adult with student ever. Two adults required for any activity, more preferred. Ideal two adults and two students minimum.
2. Adults may not give rides to students under any circumstances, even with parent permission.
3. Any suspected warning flags of abuse must be reported to lead teacher for evaluation and further investigation.
4. All adult leaders must go through annual background checks and submit to fingerprinting at start of mentoring.
5. Each adult reads and signs a list of school imposed restrictions for mentors annually.
