Youth safety

Scouting Badger encodes Scouting America Barriers to Abuse and Guide to Advancement online-class expectations into product rules:

  • No one-on-one adult–youth DMs — classroom threads only, with parents included
  • Live sessions cannot start without qualifying supervision (two-deep adults, or parent present for a single Scout)
  • Cameras are required for live counseling sessions
  • Show/tell/discuss/demonstrate requirements cannot be completed by worksheet alone — instructors must attest after interactive review
  • Key interactions are written to an immutable audit log
  • Scouting Badger does not award official advancement; counseling summaries are for unit leaders / Scoutbook entry
