Right on! From what I have been reading, the RCC has become very aggressive in implementing additional screening of prospective adult volunteers who want to serve in its scouting units.
God speed and good Scouting!
I think the training for all volunteers is extremely important. It literally never occurred to me to worry about sexual predators with my boys until we saw a youth protection video when our oldest son was a Tiger Cub. This was just before the homosexual-molestation issue in the Church hit the news. I’m sure I wasn’t the only parent who wasn’t thinking that way. Maybe I was just very sheltered, although I was alert enough to notice when another pilot in my father’s squadron was putting the moves on me when I was about 16. (He was drunk, too.)
I was a Girl Scout leader for several years, and we never had any issues with any kind of sexual involvement, because everyone in the troop leadership was mothers of the Scouts. We all knew each other, and each of us had two or three daughters all in the unit. It’s similar with our BSA units: everyone knows everyone, we have each other’s kids in Sunday School, a family will have 3, 4, 5 kids all in Scouts. The Venture Crew is pretty new, but most of the members are homeschooled kids, some have been in Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, or Cub Scouts together, a bunch are in the science competitions together. All the teenagers are alert - not just boys about men, but girls about men, and all the boys/girls required to be on a handshake-only basis, not that it’s much of a problem when almost everyone’s mom or dad is there, too!
