Can Auxiliarist-Sea Scouts work as Food Service workers in active duty sites? If so, who should have the adult training since they would be interacting with all the active duty?

For Auxiliarist-Sea Scouts under the age of 17 they are certainly allowed to qualify as Food Service workers and serve in that capacity at active duty site. The person(s) responsible for their training would have to complete the BSA Youth Protection Training (YPT) and have that completion recorded in their Auxdata record. (Once they’re completed the YPT training, they should provide a copy of their completion certificate to their FSO-IS or SO-IS for insertion in their Auxdata record.)

The individual(s) responsible for administering their work (e.g., SO-FS and VFC) are required to complete YPT. Additionally, the Auxiliarist-Sea Scout should be accompanied by at least 2 adults, at least one of whom is the same gender as the Auxiliarist-Sea Scout. The 2 adults need not be Auxiliarists (can be Sea Scout leaders or parents), and at least one must have completed YPT. This is to satisfy both BSA’s and the CG’s requirement that there never be a one-on-one situation with Auxiliarst-Sea Scouts under the age of 17.
