      Safeguarding Youth Test (Not a Survey)

      By MikeS72 · Posted

      Took less than 10 minutes - 22/22. I would be surprised if anyone who paid attention to any version of YPT, never mind the update SYT, would have bombed.

      Safeguarding Youth Test (Not a Survey)

      By Tron · Posted

      I'm going with an attempt at quality control. I wonder how many people bombed the survey and had their SYT revoked?

      Safeguarding Youth Test (Not a Survey)

      By InquisitiveScouter · Posted

      Just got this "survey" request through email. But, it is not a survey... it is a test of your knowledge and application of Safeguarding Youth policies and procedures. Incorrect to call it a survey... a survey asks for your opinion or perspective on things. This was just a 22-question outright multiple choice exam. Ignorant? Manipulative? Misleading? Deceptive? I'll apply Hanlon's Razor and move on... https://www.britannica.com/topic/Hanlons-razor NOTE:  Link removed as it may be user-unique...     Dear Scouting America Member,   At Scouting America, safeguarding our youth isn’t just a priority—it’s central to preparing young people for life. Your perspective and input helps strengthen the safe, supportive environment that families expect from our programs.   As part of our continuing effort to strengthen our safeguarding efforts, Scouting America is working with USA Child, a nonprofit think tank devoted to ending child abuse and neglect, on evidence-based solutions to issues related to safeguarding youth. Your input in this process is critical.   Please take a few minutes to complete USA Child Research’s brief, anonymous child‑safety survey.   Deadline to complete the survey is December 31, 2025.   Click here to start the survey:   Thank you for taking the survey and for all you do to keep kids safe.   Glen Pounder Chief Safeguarding Officer Scouting America
