Scouts BSA joins many other organizations in recognizing the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. During this month, we’ll be highlighting crucial program aspects to ensure youth safety. Child abuse is an uncomfortable topic but an important one for us to cover to ensure the safety and well-being of our Scouts and leaders. The primary goal of the Personal Safety Awareness videos is to educate youth about what to do if they experience abusive behavior, educate them about safe and unsafe situations, and encourage them to go to a parent or another trusted adult for help when needed.
