The
National Youth Protection Committee recommended additions to Boy Scout rank
requirements that were approved and will become effective January 1, 2008.
These changes will help us advance the importance of Youth Protection
training beyond the initial Boy Scout joining requirements, and keep
youth informed and actively engaged in understanding the key elements of
personal safety and protection.
Tenderfoot Rank - Revised Requirement 9
Explain the importance of the buddy system as it relates
to your personal safety on outings and in your neighborhood. Describe what a
bully is and how you should respond to one.
Second Class Rank - New Requirement 8b
Explain the three R’s of personal safety and
protection.
First Class Rank - New Requirement 12
Describe the three things you should avoid doing related
to use of the Internet. Describe a cyber bully and how you should respond to
one.
These changes will be represented in the 2008 Boy Scout
Requirements book and the revised ninth printing of the 11th edition of the
Boy Scout Handbook.
