NEW Youth Protection Training 2 Mandatory for ALL leaders by October 1, 2018!
Nothing is more important than the safety of our youth members. All leaders must update their youth protection training by October 1 regardless if they have an expiration date from a previous version that falls later than October 1.
In addition, all volunteers who wish to participate in any outing for more than 72 hours (even if the hours are nonconsecutive) much be registered members of the BSA and complete YPT2 training
Included below are several documents to better help explain YPT, note that the PowerPoint pdf IS NOT a replacement for the course. Anyone taking YPT must take it online at
http://my.scouting.org OR shown in a video setting. The training is 60 minutes long with a 10-15 minute long test.

Make Scoutbook work for you!
Scoutbook is the best tool for managing your Pack, Troop or Crew. Scoutbook is the only web platform that connects directly with all BSA applications and is the only platform fully supported by the BSA. Please go to
bit.ly/Scoutbook
to watch the video or read about the application that applies to you.
This site includes frequently asked questions. Individual tracking is more attainable and shows great detail. You'll easily have a better idea of where a Scout stands. The Scout can also track his/her own record, making the leader's job a little easier. Explore Scoutbook. See if it wouldn't be an excellent tool for your unit.
