Youth Protection Training

The Boy Scouts of America provides a wide variety of training for adults involved in Scouting. The minimal set of training can be accomplished in only a couple of hours - this is generally Youth Protection Training (YPT). Troop 182 and the First Baptist Church, our chartering organization, require any adult participating in an overnight campout or similar activity to be YPT trained.

How do I take the updated Youth Protection course?

Here’s a PDF that outlines the steps.

The BSA as well as our Council requires that all leaders be trained for their positions. With the exception of one course (for Scoutmasters) these can all be taken online at http://my.scouting.org
