Effective June 1, 2010:
• 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 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 recharter, the volunteer will not be registered.
If you have not taken Youth Protection Training within the past two years, please log on to MyScouting (
http://myscouting.scouting.org/ ) and take the training. Be sure to have your member ID number. The number can be found on your Boy Scouts of America membership card.
If you do not know your member ID number, contact your unit leader or committee chairman. Your council can also assist you.
If, as a new leader, you do not have a member ID, you may still create an account on MyScouting and take Youth Protection Training.
When creating your account, use the same name you will use on your application for registration. Once you receive your membership ID number, you can log on to MyScouting and input your ID number. Your training will then be linked to your membership ID.
If you have taken Youth Protection Training online but did not input your member ID number, please log back on to the Training section of MyScouting and input your member ID so the training will be linked with your records.
If you have taken Youth Protection Training within the past two years but did not take the course online, log on to MyScouting to ensure your records are up to date, or contact your council and have them verify that your Youth Protection Training records are accurate.
