Youth Protection Training

Stay on top of Youth Protection Training. Currently, the training must be taken every two years, and if a member's training has expired, they are no longer considered registered. While many councils send reminders to leaders whose training is about to expire, it's best to check your unit's training records in my.scouting.org and remind anyone whose training has expired or is about to expire to retake the course as soon as they can. It's simple: Just go to my.scouting.org and sign in to take YPT.
