Keeping up with changes in BSA Safety and Advancement

The BSA is a leader in providing a safe environment and an outstanding program – and continues to lead because of continuous improvement.  Leaders should make themselves aware of the latest updates in Guide to Safe Scouting and the Guide to Advancement. 

Why the continuous updates? Times change – quite a lot since the founding of the BSA – and so they regularly review all aspects of the program. In 1910 things like airplanes, automobiles, household electricity, and the telephone were brand new technologies, while many things we now take for granted – rockets, toasters, and even zippers, for instance – had not been invented yet.
