Youth Protection Training

All registered adult volunteers are required to take the Youth Protection Training (YPT). BSA also encourages all scout parents to complete Youth Protection Training. Information is available on the BSA website. Youth Protection Training must be completed every two years to remain current.

All our leaders must be YPT trained in order for the Pack to be re-chartered.

Online Training

Youth Protection training is available online at MyScouting.org. You will need to set up an account. A BSA member ID is not required to set up an account and is also not required to take YPT. New registered adult leaders receive their member ID number when their application is approved and will then need to log in and add their member ID to their account.
