    Mental Health Awareness Month Special: Tools for Scouts Leaders

    Our Chief Safeguarding Officer, Emily Whittle-Perkins interviews Eagle Scout Caitlyn Kreuzer whose passion for safeguarding youth has led her to create an incredible project called Courage to Heal. As part of her Passion Project, Caitlyn developed a website dedicated to supporting Scouts who may be struggling with personal challenges. Her project offers a space for education, encouragement, and resources on topics that too often go unspoken, reminding youth that healing is possible and that no one has to face difficult experiences alone. The Courage to Heal site reflects Caitlyn’s commitment to living the Scout Oath and Law—demonstrating bravery, kindness, and service to others. Through her project, she is fostering resilience and creating awareness around mental and emotional well-being within Scouting. We are grateful for Scouts like Caitlyn, who remind us that safeguarding is not only about protecting youth physically, but also about creating communities of care where everyone feels seen, safe, and supported. Her work is an example of what it means to lead with both courage and compassion.
