There is an annual review of the conflict of interest statements completed by all board members and officers that are kept on file. Officers and board members are also expected to disclose conflicts to the president as they arise on the honor system with the oversight of the governance committee. If a conflict exists or arises during the course of business, the governance committee investigates and determines any action to take in accordance with the policy. Any person covered by the policy that has a conflict of interest may not participate by discussion, voting, or any other action on a motion which relates to a transaction with respect to which he or she has a conflict of interest. At the discretion of the disinterested members of the board, he or she may be required to leave the meeting during the discussion and voting.”

“4,929 is the number of adult volunteers registered with the scouting america as of december 31, 2024. Volunteers are leaders for scout units, merit badge counselors, fundraisers, board members, trainers, and assist in all aspects of delivering the scouting program to youth. Scouting america places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. Our youth protection initiatives include a multilayered adult leader selection process that includes criminal background checks administered by a nationally recognized third party and other screening efforts. Youth protection training is required for all scouting america registered volunteers. Youth protection training is updated regularly based on research from experts and survivors in the field of child abuse and maltreatment to identify the contributing factors and threats across the spectrum of child abuse, including: bullying, neglect, exposure to violence, physical and emotional abuse, and child sexual abuse. 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 re-registered. Adults accompanying a scouting unit who are present at scout activities for 72 total hours or more must be registered as a leader.”
