CHILD ABUSE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

CONTACTING THE COUNCIL 

The Boy Scouts require immediate notification of a Scout Executive whenever information about possible child abuse in the Boy Scout program is uncovered.  The current policy for after-hours notifications is to wait until the next business day and call the Ann Arbor Council Service Center at 734-971-7100. 

The Scout executive will ensure that all state reporting requirements have been met and will also take measures to protect the youth in the Scouting movement that may be affected. 

If an immediate report is to be made due to extreme urgency, call 911 to contact your local authorities.  The council should be contacted by leaving a message on the council service center answering machine.  

The new health form has a revision. The form on the website has been updated and changed.

The revision is to allow a body fat ratio to allow Scouters and Scouts to still attend High Adventure events.

Please look at the updated form to get more information.

Leaders are those who see possibilities and inspire others to see them too. Over the past century, Scouting leaders have inspired millions of Americans to dream more, do more, and become more. They have shaped our nation's youth by modeling Scouting virtues. And now we have a way to thank them.
