Required for all adult volunteers before participating in Scouting activities.
Start TrainingYouth Protection for Leaders and Parents
True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth Protection volunteers and professionals to maintain a culture of awareness and safety at every level — national, council, district, and unit.
Required for every registered volunteer
- Safeguarding Youth training is required for all Scouting America registered volunteers and is a joining requirement.
- Safeguarding Youth training must be retaken every year. If it is not current at annual registration renewal, the volunteer will not be re-registered.
- Create an account at My.Scouting.org — you'll receive an email with your member ID/reference number, then launch the training from the home page.
Guide to Safe Scouting
The single source of information for safe Scouting. Designed for adult leaders, the Guide covers Youth Protection, Health and Safety, and Reporting. Frequently asked questions are addressed in the Youth Protection and Barriers to Abuse FAQs.
All participants in official Scouting activities should become familiar with the Guide to Safe Scouting and applicable program literature, and be aware of state or local regulations that supersede Scouting America practices.
"The books lay down definite principles and examples which serve to guide the leaders when applying their common sense to the situation before them. No two situations are ever precisely the same … but a man who carries precedents and principles in his head has no difficulty in applying their teaching in supreme moments of sudden emergency."

Answers for new families.
How old does my child need to be to join?+
Pack 131 welcomes boys and girls in kindergarten through 5th grade. Troop 311 is for youth ages 11–17, or 5th-grade graduates who have completed Arrow of Light.
Do you accept both boys and girls?+
Yes. Pack 131 has dens for both boys and girls, and Troop 311 is co-ed (the former Troop 113 has merged with 311).
When and where do you meet?+
We meet weekly during the school year at Northminster Presbyterian Church in Springfield. Pack and Troop meet on different evenings — contact us for current times.
What does it cost?+
Annual registration is set by Scouting America. Our units may also charge a small program fee to cover supplies, awards, and special events. We never want cost to keep a family from joining — please ask about scholarships.
Do I need to volunteer as a parent?+
Parents are an important part of the Scouting experience, especially in Cub Scouts. There are roles big and small — leaders, committee members, drivers, snack helpers, or simply showing up to support your child.
Where do I get a uniform?+
