CHANGES

Important Changes to the Boy Scouts of America’s Youth Protection Training Policies.

Please be aware of these new policies and discuss these changes with your unit's leadership. It important for every leader to maintain a current Youth Protection Certificate. --- Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers. --- New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration.

The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time adult application is submitted to the council office and before volunteer service with youth begins.

--- Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years.
If a volunteer’s Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.

Included in the recharter packet is a list of leaders trained in youth protection.
Please be prepared to include a Youth Protection Certificate on any leader that does not show on the list distributed on October.

Youth Protection Training can also be completed online at myscouting.org or can be taken at any scheduled live adult leader specific training.
These live youth protection trainings are usually scheduled prior to the start of leader specific training.
When taking training online, please use your membership number to receive credit for the training.

Description:

Once a volunteer has a solid overview of the BSA's values-based program, he or she can begin training for a specific Scouting position through Leader Specific training. This training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume a leadership role. Because each course is designed for a specific leadership position, the training time varies. (If you change positions you must take the specific training of that new position, but do not need to retake any of the other trainings.)
