Adult Volunteer Registration and Training

BSA requires all parents who attend a scout function with their Scouts to be registered as Adult Volunteers, additionally state law requires that all attendees at youth campouts must successfully complete a Youth Protection Training course. This course can be completed on-line and only takes 15 to 20 minutes. After the course is completed you should print your certificate and give a copy to either John Yatsu or me so we can keep our troop records up to date.

All adult leaders should also take Fast Start Training, offered on-line, and New Leader Essentials and New Leader Specific Training both of which are offered on numerous occasions by the Council. Upon completion of these courses an adult leader has earned the right to wear the Trained Patch on their uniform sleeve. Completion certificates for all BSA training should be presented to either John Yatsu or me so we can keep our troop records up to date.

Thanks,
