The sample form, appendix X in the Troop Leader Guide, contains the information necessary to report suspected child abuse. Having a written record of factual information helps investigative agencies follow up on reported child abuse. If you need to make a report of suspected child abuse, try to provide as much information as possible. If the form is not available, write down the information on a sheet of paper. Your sub camp director needs to receive these written reports from you shortly after you tell them of your suspicions.
Child abuse is against the law.
The Boy Scouts of America does not tolerate any form of child abuse. The September Jamboree Bulletin stated that Youth Protection training was current if taken since the end of the 1997 jamboree. This must be modified to state that training is current if taken within three years of the 2001 jamboree. Just 15 miles from the jamboree site' the Fredericksburg area has played an important role in our nation's history, with a strong colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War heritage. This bulletin contains a brochure that highlights some interesting attractions that you may want to include in your travel plans.
