The Troop 1441 Youth Protection Policy:
Every Adult associated with Troop 1441 (not only those registered with the Boy Scouts of America) must have completed two Youth Protection Programs to participate in Troop 1441 activities:
1) BSA's Youth Protection Training (YPT, renewed every two years), and
2) The Catholic Church's one-time-only Virtus Training and (ongoing) background check

Activities where compliance is suggested, but not required:
- Non-participatory attendance at troop meetings, Courts of Honor, Social events (Picnics. etc).
- Assistance as labor on Eagle Projects.

This policy is implemented for the protection of adults and youths.
