Youth Protection

A Time to Tell
(Boy Scouts)

A Time to Tell is an important part of the BSA’s Youth Protection training. Each Boy Scout troop is encouraged to show the video to its members once a year. The video presents common situations in which sexual abuse might occur. It emphasizes the BSA’s “three Rs” of Youth Protection that instruct children to recognize that child molesters can be anyone and to be aware of situations in which the youth can be at increased risk of being abused, resist advances made by child molesters, and report to parents or another trusted adult any molestation or attempted molestation.
