BSA training for adult leaders

 Youth safety is the No. 1 concern of the Boy Scouts of America.

 To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist to­day in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implement­ing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies. Effective June 1, 2010, Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers. This includes Merit Badge Counselors.

New volunteers 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 application is made 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 charter renewal, the volunteer will not be reregistered.

Directions for completing Youth Protection Training

1. Go to www.myscouting.org and log in. If you do not already have an account, click the "Creat an Account" button first to set one up.

2. Complete the Youth Protection Training. (Note that the test quiz is not part of the actual training.)

3. Your membership record will automatically update in scouting's national database. Please keep a copy of your completion certificate, and provide a copy to our troop's Adult Training Coordinator for our troop records.


If you are NOT currently a registered adult Scout volunteer:

1. Complete an official BSA Adult Application.

2. Register on www.myscouting.org to create a user name and password.

6. After you are registered and receive your BSA Membership Card, go back to www.myscouting.org. Log in and then click on "Update my profile."
