Course Announcement: Peer-On-Peer Abuse Training

We are excited to announce the launch of our new online training course, “Peer-On-Peer Abuse” which supersedes the previous facilitated course “Understanding and Preventing Youth-on-Youth Abuse”. This essential training is specifically tailored for camp and NYLT staff and focuses on the prevention of youth-on-youth incidents that may arise during camp activities that fulfills the specific NCAP requirement outlined in SQ-402.B.2. Completion will award the training code CS95 with a one-year expiration. CS95 will no longer be available for manual entry.

Here are some of the key highlights of the course:

• Abuse and Problematic Behavior Module: Understand the types of abuse that can happen between youth participants and how to proactively build safeguards into Scout meetings, outings, and camp activities.
• Peer-On-Peer Behavior Module: Recognize different kinds of behavior using the traffic light analogy (green, yellow, red) and understand the importance of supervision and monitoring.
• Barriers to Abuse Module: Explore the highly effective safeguards designed for prevention and ensure the protection of youth members and adult leaders in Scouting.
• Reporting Peer-On-Peer Abuse Module: Learn the steps that must be taken to report peer-on-peer abuse and understand the NCAP standards that require timely incident reporting.

Together, through awareness and preparation, we can foster a safe and supportive environment where every Scout can thrive. We look forward to your participation in this important training.
