Hailing from Provo, Utah, Jen Brown's journey through life has been marked by a deep sense of purpose and an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on her community. After graduating from Weber State University with a degree in microbiology, Jen's pursuit of knowledge led her to Creighton Dental School in Omaha, Nebraska, where she honed her skills in dentistry. In 2004, armed with her degree and a passion for creating a better world, Jen returned to her roots in Bountiful, Utah, along with her husband Mike and their five cherished boys, who are the driving force behind their lives. Jen's devotion to safeguarding the well-being of children and adolescents has been a guiding principle in her life. Her advocacy began in the crucial arena of protecting young minds from the harmful effects of pornography. With a determined spirit, she actively contributed to the development of legislative bills, including a landmark resolution that recognized pornography as a public health crisis. A testament to her dedication, her paper on the distinct impact of sexually explicit material on the adolescent brain was published in the prestigious Journal of Adolescents. Not content with simply sharing her findings locally, Jen's commitment took her across continents, as she traveled to Switzerland to present her groundbreaking research at the World Congress of Neurology. Her involvement extended to the realm of thought leadership, where she graced the Bountiful TEDx event with her insights. At the heart of her community engagement lies a desire to create a safer and more nurturing environment for Utah's youth. Jen proudly led the charge as the director of the Safe Internet for Utah Kid's campaign, an initiative aimed at equipping young people with the tools to navigate the digital landscape responsibly. This drive to protect the next generation's innocence from destructive influences serves as a driving force behind her involvement in shaping public policy. Jen's passion for community betterment goes beyond safeguarding children. With her dynamic leadership, she has served as the president of both the United Women's Forum and the Davis County Republican Women, fostering meaningful connections and fostering positive change. Her dedication to strengthening the local business landscape is evident in her membership with the Davis Chamber of Commerce, where she actively participates in the Legislative Affairs Committee. Above all, Jen's unshakeable love for her country and her profound reverence for the Constitution have led her to establish Utah Citizens for the Constitution and The Constitution Education Foundation. With these organizations, she strives to ensure that the principles and liberties that define the United States are preserved for generations to come. In every facet of her life, Jen Brown exemplifies a true advocate, leader, and guardian of the values that shape her community and nation. Her journey is one of dedication, empowerment, and the unwavering belief in the potential to create a better future for all. "  

Linda See is director of Youth Protection at the West Island health authority (CIUSSS). She spoke to Andrew Carter about the alarming report.

We are living through not only one of the most polarizing times in history but unfortunately also one of the most vicious and ideologically charged. Views expressed, which do not fit the mainstream agenda are hammered out, literally, by fact checkers operating the largest perfectionist Procrustes bed in history for sure. The common ground for differentiated approaches to the hidden meaning of truth and reality is lost. – This gets especially tragic when it comes to kids and adolescents, who are increasingly pulled into the net of this new reality of the coming metaverse, its convenience, health doctrine and social uprooting. Indeed, AI, virtual reality and a redefinition of the very identity concept of society and its individual members threaten the existence of humanness and related values as has been hitherto known and fought for.

Youth protection is a priority in Scouting. The training for youth protection starts with the parent guide that is part of the scouts' handbook. Unit leaders will often show videos produced by Scouts BSA before taking the scouts out for a long-term camping adventure. Unit leaders are required to keep their youth protection training up-to-date. Parents should be highly encouraged (but not required) to take Youth Protection Training (YPT) online the same way the unit leaders do. Parents should set up a free account on my.scouting.org and take the online training. Even youth staff at camp go through youth protection training by the camp director. ⚠️ Important: Unit leaders, please ask your parents to do the training and print out the certificate. Because the free account is not attached to a BSA ID there will be no way to account for this training with your unit access. If the parent joins the leadership of your unit a BSA ID number can be attached to the account. Only then will the training be attached to, and accessible for reports to your unit.

On today's program, John MacArthur's California church is cleared by local health officials as being the source of a COVID outbreak.  We have the latest in our “Shining Light” series of stories.  This week we feature a ministry that provides a safe place for children and their mothers who are recovering from substance abuse.  We begin today with the story of the Boy Scouts.  Monday was the deadline set by a bankruptcy court for filing a sex-abuse claim against the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).  The number of claims filed has exceeded 92,000, literally ten times more than the 9,000 claims filed in Catholic Church cases. I have a correction and apology for all my friends in Texas.  Last week we did a story that included mention of the grocery store chain H.E.B.  The only problem is, I pronounced it Heb, which was, I found out deeply offensive to many of my friends in the Lone Star State.  H.E.B. is a beloved institution there, and I've had a few Texans who heard my mispronunciation tell me, in the words of Lyle Lovett, “That's right, you're not from Texas.”  I began to get concerned that I might have one of them administer their manly footwear to my saddle facing side.  So in hopes of preventing that:  Let me just say that I apologize to the good folks of Texas, and the next time I'm in Dallas I look forward to buying you a cup of coffee at Central Market. Final Notes:  If you want to dig deep into any of the stories we've discussed, go to MinistryWatch.com.  Also, a heads-up that on this week's MinistryWatch Extra podcast episode, I talk with Dr. Robert Myers, the president of Toccoa Falls College, a small college that is bucking the trends in Christian higher education because they are not only surviving but thriving.  We talk about what they're doing, and why. Each week, MinistryWatch brings you news about Christian ministries, as well as the latest in charity and philanthropy, news that we examine from a Christian worldview perspective.  Our goal is to help us become better stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.

I have a correction and apology for all my friends in Texas.  Last week we did a story that included mention of the grocery store chain H.E.B.  The only problem is, I pronounced it Heb, which was, I found out deeply offensive to many of my friends in the Lone Star State.  H.E.B. is a beloved institution there, and I’ve had a few Texans who heard my mispronunciation tell me, in the words of Lyle Lovett, “That’s right, you’re not from Texas.”  I began to get concerned that I might have one of them administer their manly footwear to my saddle facing side.  So in hopes of preventing that:  Let me just say that I apologize to the good folks of Texas, and the next time I’m in Dallas I look forward to buying you a cup of coffee at Central Market. Final Notes:  If you want to dig deep into any of the stories we’ve discussed, go to MinistryWatch.com.  Also, a heads-up that on this week’s MinistryWatch Extra podcast episode, I talk with Dr. Robert Myers, the president of Toccoa Falls College, a small college that is bucking the trends in Christian higher education because they are not only surviving but thriving.  We talk about what they’re doing, and why. Each week, MinistryWatch brings you news about Christian ministries, as well as the latest in charity and philanthropy, news that we examine from a Christian worldview perspective.  Our goal is to help us become better stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.

All troops should expect every adult to take on some kind of leadership role. One that’s often overlooked is Merit Badge Counselor (MBC). Merit Badge Counselor can be designated as troop only or open to the council use. Adult Cub Scout leaders are also qualified to be Merit Badge Counselors. This is a good way to start the bridging process to a troop. Requirements: Must have or completed an adult application process (YPT and background check) Must keep Youth Protection Training current Online or live Merit Badge Counselor Training Have proficient skills, experients, training, and/or knowledge of the Merit Badges ⚠️ Important: It is recommended to focus on 3 to 8 Merit Badges. However, there is no limit set if you are qualified. As a merit badge counselor: Follow the requirements of the merit badge, making no deletions or additions. Scout should use the buddy system. MBC keeps “2-Deep” leadership during all instructional sessions. This includes Email (CC), Online meetings, Phone calls, and texting. Keep your Youth Protection training current. Renew membership registration annually if I plan to continue as a merit badge counselor. Merit Badge Counselors can continue after their no longer with a unit. Merit Badge Counselors must register their Scouts BSA membership with the district/council.

It takes a fair bit of effort to bring a new Scouter on board. But there's a good reason why that is! Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Spotify | YouTube | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher | Anchor Full show notes available at scoutingstuffpodcast.com.

It takes a fair bit of effort to bring a new Scouter on board. But there’s a good reason why that is! Podcast Topics Ken and Colin recollect their own close brush with a child abuser, a certain individual who once volunteered as a Scouter with their Troop, when they were both youth. This individual was recently released into the Edmonton area under no conditions or supervision, and is thought likely to re-offend.Of course, back when Ken and Colin were Scouts, a lot of the youth protection and volunteer screening standards that are now strongly emphasized and strictly enforced by Scouts Canada either didn’t exist, or at least were not anywhere as comprehensive as they are today. Ken also explains the connection between Waffle House and FEMA (the US Federal Emergency Management Agency) to Colin.And hey...if you want to leave us a review but aren’t sure where you can do so, hit up our Love the Podcast profile to find out! Shout-Outs Scouter John from Concord, North Carolina, wrote in with some thoughts about fundraising back in early September (yes, it’s been that long since we recorded last): I am a scouter in North Carolina - former cubmaster and scoutmaster. In the southeast US (and probably elsewhere), the most success that our guys have is selling discount cards which are endorsed by various businesses. The sponsors of the cards are arranged on a district level (not by the individual units) - basically selling commercial businesses on doing deals to support local scouting. Some will be very 'local' (specific restaurants, tire dealers, etc) and some are regional (fast food and grocery stores). My boy scouts find this to be an easier way to pay their way towards summer camp and some of my 'hard chargers' can sell 100+ cards per year. The unit keeps 50% of the selling price, the district keeps everything else above the cost of getting the cards made. The manufacturer gets only their cost of printing. I have attached an image of an Atlanta card which sells for $5. In my area, our cards are selling for $10. This is a value purchase for the buyer - they can see this as an opportunity to save money. We sell these door to door as well as setting up outside cooperative businesses. A typical card would have 'snap off' discounts used once with the main card being used all year.They say 'camp card' on them since the premise is that the buyer (aside from getting great bargains) is helping to send a kid to summer camp So, a shout-out to John for the comments; maybe some groups, councils, or districts can pull together something similar in their area!And, as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.

Returning for a follow-up chat (a mere 150 episodes after his first visit) is Rod Herrera, director of the Office of Child and Youth Protection for the Diocese of Camden. He has one of the most important jobs in the diocese, making sure that the young people who attend our parishes, schools and ministries do so in safe environments. Rod talks with Mary McCusker and Mike Walsh about the VIRTUS training that all clergy, staff and volunteers must undergo before working with young people and everything the dioceses of the United States have done since the USCCB’s 2002 Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People was promulgated in response to the clergy sex use crisis.

Teen suicide is the 2nd cause of death to American youth today. I know this subject is dark and cringy and most leaders avoid it if they can. As adults working with youth we need to recognize the symptoms and know what to do about it. Your active role in safeguarding our Scouts is part of your responsibilities. RED LIGHT Statements & Behavior include:

The Order of the Arrow (OA) is Scouts BSA National Honor Society. The OA was founded by Urner Goodman and Carroll Edson in 1915. Founded on the principles of Brotherhood, Cheerfulness, and Service. The OA is NOT a secret society. “Discreetness helps enhance the experience.” Youth Protection is always in effect. Everyone in the OA is referred to as “brothers” regardless of gender. The order is a Brotherhood of all honored scouts. The Order of the Arrow is youth lead. Adults fulfill an advisory, mentoring, and non-voting role. Depending on your location, elections are held with all scout troops and venture crews once a year. The adult leadership of each unit is contacted by the OA lodge or chapter youth to make election arrangements. Elected candidates go threw a voluntary “ordeal” to start the membership prosses. Later ordeal members can complete their membership by going threw brotherhood. Many unit leaders are concerned that the OA will distract the older scouts away from their unit. OA membership helps retain the interest of older scouts and keeps them involved in the unit leadership.

Today we recognize all of Americas who willingly sacrificed their lives, to save others. Firemen & First Responders, who bravely climbed up to save lives in domed burning buildings. Police & Security, who gave themselves willing to evacuate survivors. Passengers on United Airlines flight 93 who fought the terrorists when they found out what was going on. All of the selfless acts of theses honored Americas can never go without remembrance on this day. We all know that among them were many Scouters. The Scout Motto – “Be Prepared”. In Scouting we prepare our youth to do things we hope, they never need to do. We teach young scouts First Aid. Recognizing victims and what to do about it. We teach Youth Protection to Scouts and Scouters. Safety for ourselves and others. We teach about Emergency Preparedness. Disasters, fires, even water safety. In the Scout Oath, we promise to use our scout skills “to help other people at all times”. In the Scout Law, we uphold that a scout is Helpful, Friendly and Brave. Pray today for the heroic Americans and their families. Please include our future Americans (our scouts) who are taking on tomorrows challenges. Let us pray that they may never need to use the skills we teach them. Let them be prepared to help other people at all time. God bless America.

This episode made me sad to have to deliver, but this is a subject that is important to talk about. Better now than after another child is abused. Violations of youth protection result in pain that can last a lifetime. It's important to talk about the pain that's already happened, but it is equally important to talk about making it harder for this kind of abuse to happen in the future.Today's kids are tomorrow's victims - unless we do something to prevent that from happening.In this episode, we reveal the system that we put in place to prevent abuse in our Club.
