SCOUT LAW


​

              SCOUT UNIFORM

Walk through the ranks of Cub Scouting as you learn about each uniform and how to officially wear it with pride. 

Scout Bank (Uniform Bank)

One of Scouting's methods of youth development includes wearing a uniform. The Scout uniform makes Scouting visible as a force for good, signifies the Scout's commitment to Scouting ideals, and serves as an economic equalizer for all Scouts. Recognizing the essential role of the uniform in Scouting, the "Scout Bank Uniform Bank"  program, is run by T394, a dedicated Scouter family and Troop. They offer assistance to Scouts who would not otherwise be able to purchase a uniform. 

To request a gently used uniform go HERE.

To pick up or drop off a gently used uniforms, please go to the "Will Call" table at the Scout Shop. (Remeber "Gently Used means - "like new".) 
Have you turned in your Medical Forms A & B yet? Fill out one for yourself and one for your scout.
Turn in your forms along with a copy of your insurance to your Den leader.

​NEW training required for ALL volunteers!

As announced earlier, a new law has taken effect in California and will further support our mission to protect youth in our program from neglect and abuse. Pursuant to California Business and Professions Code Section 18975 (formally referred to as AB 506 of 2021), volunteers, employees, and administrators are now required to take an additional training and complete a Live Scan background check.  Visit www.californiascouting.org 
​for details and links to resources. 
We will continue to update on specifics for the Live Scan background check process as it becomes available to our council. In the interim, we ask that volunteers refrain from initiating a Live Scan for Scouting until it becomes available for our council. ​

Youth Protection Training and California Assembly BIll 506

California Assembly Bill 506 became law on September 16, 2021. AB 506 requires administrators, employees, and regular volunteers of youth service organizations to:
  • Complete training in child abuse and neglect identification and reporting
  • Undergo a background check to identify and exclude any persons with a history of child abuse
  • Ensure mandatory reporting of suspected incidents of child abuse to persons or entities outside of the organization
  • Require two mandatory reporters whenever in contact or in the supervision of children
The BSA’s Youth Protection Training standards required of all registered adults, our two deep leadership policy, and the criminal background check performed with an adult volunteer’s registration appear to meet most of the requirements of this law. The BSA’s routine criminal background check does not meet this standard, thus a background check with finger print scan will be required soon.
