Notice

Youth safety is the No. 1 concern of the BSA. Likewise it has the highest priority in the ministries of the Diocese of Camden. So with this in mind Troop 177 complies with the Youth protection programs of each...

BSA YOUTH PROTECTION:

To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies: Effective June 1, 2010:
Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers.
New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.
Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.

Diosese of Camden:

CAP SESSIONS (CHILD ASSAULT PREVENTION PROGRAM), are part of the diocesan programs of prevention under the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. Sessions teach attendees the mechanics of reporting child physical and sexual abuse as well as bullying concepts and how to help children feel safe, strong and free.
THE DIOCESE REQUIRES ALL ADULTS IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH CHILDREN TO ATTEND THIS TRAINING. THE TRAINING MUST BE RETAKEN EVERY 5 YEARS.

Troop 177 requires all new adult volunteers to complete this training within 90 days of registration.

All leaders (and parents) are invited to attend the District Roundtable meetings. Each meeting begins with an informal gathering session, followed by a Scouting appropriate opening and general announcements. Announcements may cover District and Council events, news and updates from the National Office, awards and recognition from the Commissioner staff, guest presentations, and/or special surprises. Coffee and cake/snacks are often available. After the general session, there are break-out sessions -- Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts & Venture Scouts -- into separate classrooms where the meeting's agenda is then more directed toward that specific group.

Roundtable is scheduled for:

Second Tuesdays (usually) of each month, 7-8:30 PM Glen Landing Middle School (in the library), 85 Little Gloucester Road, Gloucester Township, NJ (Sept. - May)

Pine Hill Scout Reservation (June & August; no meeting in July)
