What is 
Basic Scouter Training
Most of your basic scouter trainings can be done on-line at www.myscouting.org, but many prefer live in-person sessions.
All registered adults MUST be Youth Protection Trained in their unit area. This is required to be turned in with all new applications. Go to my.scouting.org sign-up for an account ( if you do not have one ). Then take the appropriate test. Print out the Completion Certificate and turn it in with the Adult Registration Form. A membership number will be assigned after your application has been submitted to council. Youth Protection Training must be completed every two years (or one year from going to a Jamboree) to remain current.
Any Adults that does not have a current Youth Protection lasting through the next Re-charter will not be allowed to continue until the training is brought up to date.
What makes a Trained Leader?
Boy Scouts America desires to see 100% of all direct-contact leaders trained. In the near future it will be a requirement for re-registration.
To be fully trained with the basic skills to be successful in your position and to earn the Trained Leader emblem*, a new leader must complete basic training in the following order.
Youth Protection Training: New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training before submitting an application for registration.
