Background Screenings


• Why do we have to do them?
For the safety of our children and youth, for an accounting of those who are in attendance at district sponsored events, and for appropriate status with our insurance providers.

• Who needs a background check?
Anyone who is involved in a District sponsored Youth and Children, Royal Ranger or Girls Ministries event.  Usually these events involve an overnight stay. Check with your District Youth and Children's Director, Royal Ranger Commander or Girls Ministries Coordinator if you need further clarification. 


• Where can I get a background check form?
Forms are available through the Youth and Children, Royal Ranger and Girls Ministries Department web sites. On the website, click on the department with which you will be working and print up the appropriate form. Send that form along with the listed processing fee, to the department head named on the form.


• Can local church workers be run through the District Office?
The district office runs background checks on a yearly basis only for district sponsored Youth and Children, Royal Ranger and Girls Ministries events.  Local church workers should be processed by the local church.  The District Office uses the company Volunteer Select Plus, which can used by the local church and accessed online at: www.volunteerselectplus.com
