For the last few years, we've striven to hold a Youth Protection training for our Scouts about once every 12-15 months, showing and facilitating the video, A Time To Tell. The Scoutmaster has been the one to lead the training. We will be doing so again next month, just a couple weeks after the new scouts cross over into the Troop.

I took over as Scoutmaster about 6 months ago... and I'm a woman. My question is, should I be the one to facilitate this training? I certainly don't mind doing it, however there are some pretty intense/graphic scenarios, and I wonder if the boys will feel uncomfortable discussing it with me? I'm wondering if I shouldn't have a male Asst. Scoutmaster do it?

Thanks for any thoughts,
