Youth Protection Training (YPT-Y01)
– required for all adult leaders
Youth Protection Training is based upon the policies and procedures BSA has developed
to ensure that all volunteer leaders and parents are aware of the problem of child
abuse and that Scouting provides a safe environment for all participants.
The
online version
of this training is required every two years for leaders attending summer camp,
winter camp, or day camp or leading a camping trip.
Cub Scout Leader
Specific training
Leader Specific Training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to
assume a leadership role in the position for which he or she is registered.
Because each course is designed for a specific leadership position, the training
time varies from course to course.
The first two classes:
- Welcome to Scouting (CLS I)
- How We Have Fun (CLS II)
need only be taken once.
Leader Specific Training has been developed for the following positions and their
assistants: Tiger Cub den leaders, Cub Scout den leaders, Webelos den leaders ,
Cubmasters, Pack committee members, and Pack trainers (CLS III). This needs
to be retaken at any position change (i.e. Tiger Den Leader to Wolf/Bear Den Leader)..
