Youth Protection Training Now Mandatory for All Scouters

From the Patriot District Commissioner:

There is a new BSA policy on Youth Protection Training. Please linked document carefully and pass on to your units. This was a surprise to volunteers and professional staff alike. Bottom line – new adult applicants will have to complete YPT and submit the certificate with their application. Scouters cannot reregister if YPT is not current.

The Council has posted an FAQ as well.
