Youth Protection Training has always been a requirement for registered leaders but the procedure has changed going forward for all new registrations. The policy now requires all leaders to complete the Youth Protection Training prior to registration. The registration must include proof of valid Youth Protection Training in order to be processed. The Youth Protection Training can be taken online at the myscouting.org site or at a local district our council training event. The training must be renewed every two years.
This change affects all current as well as new leaders. If the renewing leader is not current on their Youth Protection Training, the renewal application will not be processed. This also applies to all registered parents, district committee members, merit badge counselors, and all board members. It is very easy to complete the training online in just a few minutes and print a card to attach to your registration.

Who is the Scout Executive and what is the best way to reach the Scout Executive if a leader needs to report someting?
I was surprised to hear about this when I stopped in at my local BSA store yesterday but I'm very pleased with it! It's good to know BSA is taking extra steps to protect our kids (and our adults, for that matter). I also think the new insert in the handbooks is a great idea. Maybe it will help someone who previously felt he had no where to turn.
