Note!: In order to be considered fully trained, National BSA requires the completion of Youth Protection Training and Hazardous Weather Training. These trainings can be found online at https://my.scouting.org and should be completed ahead of time.
Are all of your unit's leaders trained?Review the
page from National's website giving the requirements for a leader to
be considered "trained". Online Training: You need to log into the Learn Center at My.Scouting.org to take online courses. You don't need to be a registered Scouter to set up a MyScouting.org account, but it is a very good idea to associate your account with your member ID number as soon as you receive your membership card. That way, any training you take online will automatically be credited to your BSA records. When entering my.scouting.org, you'll find training under Home, My Dashboard, My Training. Courses are in the "Training Center", listed by program. Please do not set up more than one My.Scouting.org account! If you have problems after you've set up one account, get help - duplicate accounts are one of the major causes of problems in getting proper credit for training, among other things. If for some reason you wind up with two BSA membership nunbers (you shouldn't, but it happens), you can associate your My.Scouting.org account with all of the member numbers through the "Manage Member ID" tool under "Legacy Web Tools". Note: Nearly all position-specific training includes many different modules, all of which need to be completed before a leader is considered "Trained". Be sure that you have downloaded a list of positions and modules here and reviewed them to make sure that your leaders are, in fact, trained!. Different leadership positions require different combinations of modules, and some modules are shared between a number of different positions. You don't have to retake a module once taken, even if it was taken for another position. All Adults: All adults are required to take Youth Protection Training before they are registered, and to keep their YPT current while they are registered. All unit-level leaders who were not considered "Trained" as of April 2018 are required to take Hazardous Weather Training in order to be considered "Trained". Cub Scouts: All training courses for Cub Scout Leaders are now available online (other than the outdoor session required for BALOO). Scouts BSA, Sea Scouts and Venturing: Most Boy Scout, Sea Scout and Venturing leader training can be taken from my.scouting.org, other than required Outdoor Training (IOLS). You'll find training under Home, My Dashboard, My Training, or, click the Learn Center image on the right side of the home page. Exploring: Training for Explorer leaders available through My.Scouting.org includes:
District-level Adults: Training for adults who are registered at the District level which is available through My.Scouting.org includes:
Other courses with links at My.Scouting.org include:
In-Person Training: If your pack or troop has a large number of people who need training, don't wait for a scheduled session - the Training Committee is also bringing the training to you! Contact them at training@TompkinsCortlandScouts.org and schedule a training session for your pack leaders. Packs should have a Pack Trainer if at all possible, so as to be able to present leader training to new leaders as needed. The Boy Scouts of America’s Youth Protection Training PoliciesYouth safety is the No. 1 concern of the BSA. 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 has implemented the following Youth Protection policies:
To find out more about the Youth Protection policies of the Boy Scouts of America and how to help Scouting keep your family safe, see the information available in any of the Cub Scouting or Boy Scouting handbooks, or go to http://www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx. Baden-Powell Council Local Policy for Youth Protection TrainingThe Baden-Powell Council has established the following stricter Youth Protection Training (YPT) requirement that supersedes the National Policy: In order to renew your registration, your Youth Protection Training must remain current through your entire registration period. For this reason, you are encouraged to take YPT every year to ensure that it will not lapse during your registration period! (National requirements just require current YPT at time of registration or recharter) Has your training passed its "shelf life"?The National Training Committee has issued a reminder that some BSA training has a "shelf life", and must be renewed on a regular schedule. If you have any of these certifications, check when you last took them! One Year: Two Years: Camp Visitation Chainsaw Safety Three Years: Five Years: * = This course is available online through the national Web site my.scouting.org. You'll find your training listed under Home, My Dashboard, My Training on my.scouting.org, listed by program (Cubs, Scouts, etc). Some of the courses noted here are in the "Other" section, so if you don't find the course under your program, check there, too. Make sure you've set up your my.scouting.org account with your membership number (use the "Manage member ID" function on the main menu), so that your training will be credited to your records on the Council's computers! Have you applied for recognition of your accomplishments?The BSA has many "square knot" recognition awards for taking training and putting it into practice. See the Recognition section of the Advancement page for details.
