Background Clearances/Safe Environment

Link to Adult Scout Info

In order to create a Safe Environment in which our children can thrive, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia imposes certain requirements for all staff members and volunteers.  Please turn them in at the rectory immediately.

Parents cannot go on trips unless they have their clearances.

• There is a comprehensive list on the parish website.
• Please Contact Mark Pellegrino, Chartered Organization Representative, with questions.
• We have recommended that all parents, even if they are not registering, get their clearance to avoid confusion.
• Anyone who has contact with youth as a volunteer with Troop or Pack 230 must take PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN TRAINING CLASS. If you are a registered leader, you must take this class. Committee members or parents who do not have contact with youth do not need to take this class, but it is highly recommended and required for transporting Scouts, not your child, or attending activities with them where there will be other children.
• PLEASE REGISTER FOR THE CLASS ONLINE AT WWW.VIRTUSONLINE.ORG
• Please send David Iannacone (Committee Chair) copies of the following documents: Pennsylvania State Police Clearance, Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance, and the Disclosure Statement Application for Volunteers (signed)
