Scouter Code of Conduct
Every adult volunteer (we call them Scouters) must agree to abide by the Scouter Code of Conduct.
1. I have completed or will complete my registration with the Boy Scouts of America, answering all questions truthfully
and honestly.
2. I will do my best to live up to the Scout Oath and Scout Law, obey all laws, and hold others in Scoutingaccountable to those standards. I will exercise sound judgment and demonstrate good leadership and use the Scoutingprogram for its intended purpose consistent with the mission of the Boy Scouts of America.
3. I will make the protection of youth a personal priority. I will complete and remain current with YouthProtection training requirements. I will be familiar with and follow:
• BSA Youth Protection policies and guidelines, including mandatory reporting:

Scouting activities.
