Service Hours Project and Youth Protection

What are the rules about a scout performing service hours with an outside group in relation to Youth Protection?   EXAMPLE : A Scout does food pantry packing with an outside group not related to scouting do they need a parent to be with them? I know the other rules pertaining to how the service hours are picked, approved, etc. I'm just asking about YPT and Barriers to Abuse guidelines.

The event is not an outing under the auspices of the BSA, and so is not under its rules.  So, as long as the parents understand this, they are responsible for their Scout.

Whenever Scouts request to have these types of service hours approved, we make sure to have that conversation with the parents. 

Think of the logical extreme here... do we have to provide YPT and Barriers to Abuse for any and every they let us know they are attending??
