Every adult must complete Youth Protection Training. It is required for all BSA registerd volunteers and is a joining requirement. Yout 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 re-registered. You can register for training by going to https://my.scouting.org/ and signing up for the online training course. Once completed, please send a PDF copy of your YPT certificate to our Scoutmaster
