Pack 62 follows Scouting America's Guide to Safe Scouting — a comprehensive set of policies that protect every scout and adult in our pack. Safety isn't an afterthought. It's baked into everything we do.

All registered adults complete Youth Protection Training. This is mandatory and renewed every 2 years — no exceptions.
Annual Health and Medical Record (Parts A & B) required for all scouts and adults at activities. Part C (physician exam) required for resident camps.
Pack 62 follows BSA's prohibited activities list — including strict rules around firearms, fireworks, certain vehicles, and unapproved climbing activities.
