EVERY YOUTH DESERVES A TRAINED LEADER Trained Scout leaders provide a quality, fun-filled program for youth. When leaders understand the “why” and
“how” of Scouting, they are more effective in their roles. Trained leaders know how to use the available
resources to provide an exciting and worthwhile program for the Scouts. Trained leaders also have the confidence in
carrying out their roles and responsibilities. As a result, Scouts receive a program designed to achieve Scouting’s aims
of citizenship, training, character development, and personal fitness.
The “Trained” emblem is available to all adult leaders who have completed required courses for their registered
position. It is worn on the left sleeve, below and touching the emblem of leadership for which it was earned.
Visit www.danielboonecouncil.org or www.my.scouting.org for more information and the most up-to-date training
opportunities.
What Makes a Trained Leader?
Leaders must meet the following requirements to be considered basic leader trained:
• Cub Scout leaders are considered trained when they have completed Youth Protection and Cub Scout
Leader Specific training for their position.
• Scoutmasters and assistant Scoutmasters are considered trained when they have completed Youth
Protection, Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training, and Introduction to Outdoor
Leader Skills.
• Troop committee members are considered trained when they have completed Youth Protection and the
Troop Committee Challenge as their Leader Specific training.
• Venturing crew advisors, assistant advisors and crew committee members are considered trained when
they have completed Youth Protection and Venturing Leader Specific Training.
Note:
Youth Protection training and Cub Scout Leader Specific Training courses are available online at www.scouting.org.
Other courses must be attended in person.
Other Notes on Leader Training Requirements
Changing Position
If the individual changes position, the volunteer will not be considered trained until they have completed Leader
Specific Training for their new position.
Timeframe for New Leaders
New leaders must complete Youth Protection immediately (or application cannot be processed), and Leader Specific
Training within 90 days (Cub Scouts) and 180 (Boy Scouts and Venturing).
Keeping Youth Protection Current
Leaders are required to keep their Youth Protection training current. However, all leaders are strongly encouraged to
keep all of their training current, either by taking the updated training or by serving on staff to teach the training.
Goal of Training Program
The goal of the program is to help units and unit leaders succeed, to help leaders run successful Scouting programs
and to keep our Scouts (and adult Scouters) safe and healthy.

Training
If you had a magic wand, would you use it to make the Scouting program better and more fun for youth
so they stayed in Scouting longer, so it had a larger impact on their lives? What if the same magic wand
made leadership roles easier, more rewarding, and led to better retention among adult leaders? Would
using that magic wand be a top priority?
Well, such a magic wand does exist—in the form of the learning programs for leaders in the Boy Scouts
of America.
Common sense tells us that training is important, and research shows the importance of trained leaders. A
trained leader is knowledgeable and more confident in the role being performed. Trained leaders exhibit a
knowledge and confidence that is picked up by people around them. Trained leaders impact the quality of
programs, leader tenure, youth tenure, safety, and a whole lot more. A trained leader is better prepared to
make the Scouting program all it can be!
These pages contain many of the “magic wands” and resources. Scout them out!
Quick Links Almost all BSA training can be done online by going to https://my.scouting.org/ You will need to log-in
or create an account to access the training portal. If you need assistance with this system, please call the
My.Scouting helpdesk at 972-580-2489.

FUNDING YOUR SCOUTING PROGRAM
Scouting is one of the most affordable programs for families to take part in. With all the new skills learned, friends made, and
fun, it is the best return on your investment. The Scout Law teaches Scouts to be thrifty, and earn their own way. The Daniel
Boone Council offers a variety of ways for Scouts to raise funds to pay for their Scouting experience.
Why should Your Unit Sell Popcorn and Camp Cards?
The Daniel Boone Council popcorn and camp card sales are a very important source of funding for the local Scouting units, as
well as the council. The sale provides Scouting units with a safe, coordinated money earning opportunity with no upfront cost to
the unit.
Popcorn sales can fund the pack needs such as camping gear, program supplies, books, recognition items and major pack
activities. Camp Cards can help scouts earn their way to camp, providing them the opportunity to be thrifty and earn their
own way.
What does this mean for your unit?
You can use the popcorn and camp card sales to fund your entire years’ worth of activities. Imagine being able to have great
events, campouts and have every Scout participate in day camp, Webelos Woods and cub parent weekends without asking the
family for any money! It is possible with these fundraisers!
Benefits
• There is no up-front money needed by the unit for either sale, and you only pay for what you sold. No extra product!
• Teaches Scouts the responsibility of earning his own way and builds self-confidence.
• Provides experience in public speaking, salesmanship and financial skill development.
CAMP CARDS (SPRING SALE)
The Camp Card sale is designed specifically to help Scouts earn funds to offset the cost of their Scouting experience, specifically
day camp or summer camp. Units participating in this program will earn 50% commission ($2.50) for each $5 Camp Card they
sell. The sale runs approximately 2 months and usually begins in early March and ends in early May. The program is completely
risk free and units can return any cards that they do not sell. More information will be available at your monthly district
roundtables.

POPCORN (FALL SALE)
With over 70% of the Popcorn sale going to support Scouting there is no other fundraiser with that high of a return and
majority of the money going directly to your unit. Up to 42% goes straight to the local units in form of commission
and / or prizes for your Scouts. The remaining 28% goes to Scouting programs held throughout the Council, helps to
maintain Camp Daniel Boone and the Council Service Center. The sale begins in late September and ends in early
November. More information will be available at your monthly district roundtables.

May Planning & Events:
Cub Scout Day Camp
Day Camp is Council camp run by districts for Cub Scouts entering 1st - 5th grade and focusing on earning rank advancements,
learning new skills, playing sports and games, crafts, BB guns, archery and making new friends. Many parent volunteers are needed to
have a successful camp. Scouts can attend any district’s camp. Camps are typically 5 days long (most run from 8:30 – 4:30), and are
held during the month of June. Registration deadlines will be coming up soon so go ahead and register now so your Scout doesn’t miss
out on this fun adventure!
For more information go to www.danielboonecouncil.org
National Summertime Pack Awards
School breaks afford Cub Scout Packs a perfect opportunity for special activities. These may be geared to a traditional summer break
or to shorter breaks afforded by a year-round school calendar or to home-schooled Cub Scouts. The National Summertime Pack
Award recognizes Packs that provide a year-round program.
Each Pack that plans and conducts three Pack activities – one each during the summer months (or school vacations for a year-round
school calendar) qualifies for the National Summertime Pack Award and will receive a ribbon for their flag. Each den will receive a
ribbon if at least half of their Cub Scouts attend three Pack summertime events. Cub Scouts who attend all three of their Pack’s
summertime activities earn a pin, which is worn on the uniform right pocket or on the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award.
Are you prepared?

June Planning & Events:
Scouts BSA Summer Camp
Scouts BSA summer camp is a real highlight of the Troop’s program year. It takes a lot of planning to have a good season of
Summer Camp, the first part of your planning for next year’s camp can happen now, go ahead while you are in camp this summer
and reserve your site for next year. Talk to your Scouts while in camp this summer about what they want to do next summer. That
will put you on the road for your 2020 camp planning process. Some of the key elements include:
• Reserving a Spot at Camp, the earlier the better to get the week you want.
• Thinking about how your Scouts can earn money needed for Camp through Popcorn and Camp Card sales.
• Planning to have adequate adult leadership for Camp.
• Incorporating new Scouts who join in the spring into your Summer Camp plans.
• Health forms and physicals needed for camp.
• What Merit Badges to sign the Scouts up for. This process is an online process that begins in April, but it begins earlier
by gathering the information from your Scouts so it’s ready by April 1.
• Holding a Parent Night to encourage camp attendance and help parents understand how to help their son prepare for
camp.
These are some but not all the key features of the year-round process of Summer Camp planning and now is a good time
to start for next year.

July Planning & Events:
Scout Planning
Take some time now to begin planning your meetings for the coming year using the Program Planning Guides that are available at
www.scouting.org. These guides will provide a framework for your Scouts and leaders to plan fun and exciting unit activities.
For Cub Scout Packs, encourage parent participation in your den meetings throughout the year, involve them in the process of choosing and
planning activities and outings.
Campmaster Corps Training
The campmaster corps is a group of selected, trained, and registered Scouters who serve at council camps during the weekend, whenever
troops, teams, Webelos dens, or posts are using any part of the camp property. Campmasters select their own time and frequency of service,
but they usually serve two to four times a year.
Campmasters are selected on the basis of their ability in several areas: outdoor skills, specialized knowledge of nature and conservation,
and leadership skills. All campmasters must have a record of demonstrated ability to get along with people, to lead, and to act in an
emergency. All campmasters must have a working knowledge of Scouting, troop and team operations, Scout advancement, and Webelos
Scout camping. Experienced and registered Scouters, with the exception of unit leaders, are eligible for consideration as campmasters. (It is
generally conceded that a unit leader's major concern must be the particular unit served.)
In order to become a Campmaster you must be approved by the Council Camping Committee and attend a specific training. Campmaster
training is held in August of each year. Please see the Council calendar for the specific date. For more information contact Camp Daniel
Boone or the Council Office.
Fall Recruitment
Scouting is more fun with your friends. Beginning in August, and running throughout the entire fall, Units Council-wide will recruit
thousands of new families to join in the fun and adventure of Scouting. In addition to the Council’s Fall Recruiting plan, units are
encouraged to share their program inside their Chartered Organizations and hold their own “Bring a Friend” event that shows just how fun
Scouting is. Contact your District Executive for more information about Fall Recruitment for your Unit.
Notes:

• Check the calendar for all Council

Things to remember:
• Attend your September
District Roundtable.
• Check the calendar for all Council and
District events.
• The Council Office will be closed on
Monday September 2nd in observance of
Labor Day.
• Register your Pack to attend Cub Parent
Weekend that will be held in October.
• Plan to attend Leader Specific Training
held in each District throughout the
months of September or October.
• Unit Leaders and Committee Chairs,
keep an eye out in your mailboxes for
your unit’s recharter information.
September Planning & Events:
It’s Time to Begin Thinking About Unit Recharter
Your unit has the responsibility of renewing each member and leader annually; this process begins in October. The process is now done
100% using the internet, information to get started is in the recharter information packet that was mailed to your Unit Leader and
Committee Chairs toward the end of September. The unit selects an adult to complete the online process. This renewal processor uses the
access code provided in the mailed information to log onto the Internet Renewal system. At any time, the renewal processor can suspend
the electronic process and return later to the last completed screen. The system lets you enter new members, renew current members, and
update information for any registrant. Once submitted online, print the roster, acquire the appropriate signatures for the printed roster and
any new application, and bring them along with a unit check to your District Recharter turn-in day. Once turned into the Council office
the packet will be reviewed and if no issue, it will then be submitted to ScoutNet. Once submitted on our end, the Unit can then print a
new roster and their membership cards through their My.Scouting account. Following this procedure will ensure that your unit meets all
national registration requirements. For more information contact your Unit Commissioner or your District Executive.
Popcorn
Prepare your unit to sale Popcorn. If you did not attend your districts popcorn kickoff make sure you get your sale material from your
District Executive. Review over all important Popcorn dates and pass that information along to your Scout families. If you have any
questions, or need more information contact your district executive or Paul Hollier, Council Development Director at the Council Office.

November Planning & Events:
Youth Protection Training
The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To
maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and
leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, and Venturing programs.
BSA Youth Protection Mission Statement
True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth
Protection volunteers and professionals to work within the Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection awareness
and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.
Youth Protection Training (YPT) is required for all adults in order to be registered with the BSA and must be retaken every two years.
While the course may be taken online or in a classroom setting, any adult member must have Youth Protection Training prior to your
registration application being processed by the Council Office. Please attach a copy of your completion certificate to your adult
application prior to turning it into the Council Office.
New to Scouting? Go to www.my.scouting.org to take Youth Protection training. You do not have to be a registered member of the
Boy Scouts of America to take Youth Protection training.

Guide to Safe Scouting
The purpose of the Guide to Safe Scouting is to prepare members of the Boy Scouts of America to conduct Scouting activities in a safe
and prudent manner. All participants in official Scouting activities should become familiar with the Guide to Safe Scouting and be
aware of state and local government regulations that supersede Boy Scouts of America policies and guidelines. A PDF version is
available at http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/HealthandSafety/GSS/toc.aspx
Changes to this document is done periodically; we encourage you to review over them prior to all events and activities.
Silver Beaver Nominations
The Silver Beaver Award is the highest recognition a Council can bestow on an adult volunteer leader. Don’t miss the opportunity to
nominate a fellow Scouter for this award. Awards are presented at the Council Recognition Reception in March. Silver Beaver
Nominations are due to the Council Office by Monday, December 30, 2019. If you have previously nominated someone please

January Planning & Events:
Scheduling Friends of Scouting Presentations
Friends of Scouting is the annual fundraising campaign in which district volunteers visit all Scouting units during a special meeting
(e.g. Blue and Gold Banquet, Court of Honor). Presenters make a short presentation to the parents and adult leaders of the unit
explaining how the Scouting program is funded and why financial support is needed to maintain and expand the quality programs and
camping facilities of the Daniel Boone Council. If you have not already done so, please contact your District Executive or District
Family Friends of Scouting Chair to schedule a presentation.
Work Camp Staff this summer @ Camp Daniel Boone
The Daniel Boone Council is looking for dedicated individuals to serve Scouting by being a staff member at Camp Daniel Boone this
summer. The requirements are stiff; the jobs are demanding, but the experience is exhilarating. Staff applications are available on the
camp website; www.campdanielboone.org. For more information contact Council Office.
Council Volunteer Recognition Banquet / Silver Beaver Award Presentations
This annual recognition event of the Daniel Boone Council is designed to honor all Scouters from across our Council for their
contribution to Scouting during the year. It is a time to reflect on the past year's accomplishments and for fellowship with those who
share your interest in the Boy Scout program. The next Council Volunteer Recognition Banquet will be held on Friday, March 6,
2020.
Again, this year, three volunteers from across the Council will be honored with the Council's highest honor-the Silver Beaver Award.
The Silver Beaver Award is the council-level distinguished service award of the Boy Scouts of America. Recipients of this award are
registered adult leaders who have made an impact on the lives of youth through service given to the council. The Silver Beaver is an
award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self-sacrifice,
dedication, and many years of service. To register for the Council Banquet, go to the Council website at www.danielboonecouncil.org.

February Planning & Events:
Scout Sunday
Scout units are urged to participate in the religious service of their chartering organization: attend in uniform, do a flag ceremony,
speak about Scouting, present religious awards and/or formally thank the chartering organization for their support throughout the year.
Consider having a recruiting information table in the foyer or hospitality area.
A Scout is reverent. Scout Sunday is February 9th.
AOL to Scout Transition
One of the goals of the Arrow of Light program is to prepare Scouts for their transition into Scouts BSA. Packs and Troops should
work together to ensure that every AOL Scout has the opportunity to join a Troop. Troops can provide opportunities for AOL Scouts
and their parents to become familiar with their program through special open houses or outdoor activities. AOL dens may also have
opportunity to observe Troops in action at Webelos Woods. The cooperative effort of Troop and Pack gives AOL Scouts and their
families an awareness of the Troop program, Troop leadership, and advancement – as well as an appreciation for Troop organization
and relationships. While AOL dens will visit Troops as a group, the selection of a Troop by individual Scout is up to the Scout and his /
her family. Every Troop has a different “personality” and is different in the type of activities scheduled. Families must choose the
Troop that best meets the needs of their Scout. Scouts are encouraged to join a Troop in early spring, allowing them to experience
several Troop campouts prior to attending summer camp.
Council Camp Card Sale
Camp Card sale begins on March 2nd and ends May 1st. Make sure that your unit is signed up to sell. Cards will be distributed at the March
Roundtables or you can pick them up at the Council Office. Camp Cards are a great way for Scouts to earn the money they need for Summer
Camp and High Adventure Activities. They are easy, fun, and rewarding!

▪ Registration is online only. See the Council website or the Long Rifle for more information.
• Register your pack for the Spring Cub Parent Weekend that will be held in April.
March Planning & Events:
Spring Recruiting
Fall isn’t the only time to bring new Scouts into your Unit. Hold spring recruiting events and open houses. Invite newly recruited
Scouts to attend Day Camp and other summer events. Spring is a great time to attract new families and get them involved in exciting
summer activities. Contact your Unit Commissioner or your District Executive for help planning a spring recruitment.
Arrow of Light Crossover
Arrow of Light Crossover does not occur at the same time for every AOL Scout. Most cross over between February and March, however
some do wait until April or May. The most important thing to remember is to allow the AOL Scout enough time once they are in the Troop
to experience several Troop campouts prior to attending summer camp.
Here’s what the Scouting.org web site has to say about the process.
The passage from a Cub Scout Pack to a Scouts BSA Troop should be smooth, with no time lost in between. When AOL Scouts are ready to
cross over, the Scout and his /or her family should be familiar and comfortable with the youth and adult leaders of the Troop, their role in the
Troop and Troop activities, and feel excited about beginning this new adventure. The AOL Scout’s graduation ceremony should clearly
signify their transition to a new level of Scouting, and could include the presentation of their AOL Award, a Scout BSA Handbook, and a
Troop neckerchief. The key factor to improved AOL transition is the ongoing working relationship of the leaders of a Cub Scout Pack and a
Scouts BSA Troop. Ideally a community organization would have both a Pack and a Troop with leaders who work together to help move
AOL Scouts into a Scouts BSA Troop the same way schools move students from elementary school to middle school.

May Planning & Events:
New Council Program Calendar and Planning Guide
The new Council Program Calendar and Planning Guide will be distributed at your May District roundtable. This is the first step in
planning a great 2020 - 2021 Scouting year.
Cub Scout Day Camp
Day Camp is Council camp run by districts for Cub Scouts entering 1st - 5th grade and focusing on earning rank advancements,
learning new skills, playing sports and games, crafts, BB guns, archery and making new friends. Many parent volunteers are needed to
have a successful camp. Scouts can attend any district’s camp. Camps are typically 5 days long (most run from 8:30 – 4:30), and are
held during the month of June. Registration deadlines will be coming up soon so go ahead and register now so your Scout doesn’t miss
out on this fun adventure!
For more information go to the district event registration page on the Council website (www.danielbooncouncil.org) or contact your
District Executive.
National Summertime Pack Awards
School breaks afford Cub Scout Packs a perfect opportunity for special activities. These may be geared to a traditional summer break
or to shorter breaks afforded by a year-round school calendar or to home-schooled Cub Scouts. The National Summertime Pack
Award recognizes Packs that provide a year-round program.
Each Pack that plans and conducts three Pack activities – one each during the summer months (or school vacations for a year-round
school calendar) qualifies for the National Summertime Pack Award and will receive a ribbon for their flag. Cub Scouts who attend
all three of their Pack’s summertime activities earn a pin, which is worn on the uniform right pocket or on the Cub Scout Outdoor
Activity Award. This pin can be purchased in the Scout Shop.

June Planning & Events:
Scouts BSA Summer Camp
Scouts BSA summer camp is a real highlight of the Troop’s program year. It takes a lot of planning to have a good season of Summer
Camp, the first part of your planning for next year’s camp can happen now, go ahead while you are in camp this summer and reserve
your site for next year. Talk to your Scouts while in camp this summer about what they want to do next summer. That will put you on
the road for your 2020 camp planning process. Some of the key elements include:
• Reserving a Spot at Camp, the earlier the better to get the week you want.
• Thinking about how your Scouts can earn money needed for Camp through Popcorn and Camp Card sales.
• Planning to have adequate adult leadership for Camp.
• Incorporating new Scouts who join in the spring into your Summer Camp plans.
• Health forms and physicals needed for camp.
• What Merit Badges to sign the Scouts up for. This process is an online process that begins in April but it begins earlier by
gathering the information from your Scouts so it’s ready by April 1.
• Holding a Parent Night to encourage camp attendance and help parents understand how to help their Scout prepare for camp.
These are some but not all the key features of the year-round process of Summer Camp planning and now is a good time to start for
next year.
Notes:
Things to remember:
• Attend your June District Roundtable
• Check the calendar for all Council and District events.
• Register your upcoming Webelos I’s and AOL’s for Webelos Woods
held in August.
• Register your eligible Scouts BSA for the OA Summer Ordeal.

www.scouting.org. These guides will provide a framework for your Scouts and leaders to plan fun and exciting unit activities.
For Cub Scout Packs, encourage parent participation in your den meetings throughout the year, involve them in the process of choosing
and planning activities and outings.
Campmaster Corps Training
The campmaster corps is a group of selected, trained, and registered Scouters who serve at council camps during the weekend,
whenever troops, teams, packs, dens or posts are using any part of the camp property. Campmasters select their own time and
frequency of service, but they usually serve two to four times a year.
Campmasters are selected based on their ability in several areas: outdoor skills, specialized knowledge of nature and conservation, and
leadership skills. All campmasters must have a record of demonstrated ability to get along with people, to lead, and to act in an
emergency. All campmasters must have a working knowledge of Scouting, troop operations, Scout advancement, and Scout camping.
Experienced and registered Scouters, except for unit leaders, are eligible for consideration as campmasters. (It is generally conceded
that a unit leader's major concern must be the particular unit served.)
To become a Campmaster you must be approved by the Council Camping Committee and attend a specific training. Campmaster
training is held in August of each year. Please see the Council calendar for the specific date. For more information contact the Council
Office.

Fall Recruitment
Scouting is more fun with your friends. Beginning in August, and running throughout the entire fall, Units Council-wide will recruit
thousands of new families to join in the fun and adventure of Scouting. In addition to the Council’s Fall Recruiting plan, units are
encouraged to share their program inside their Chartered Organizations and hold their own “Bring a Friend” event that shows just how
fun Scouting is. Contact your District Executive for more information about Fall Recruitment for your Unit.
BALOO TRAINING
BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) Training is a one-day event, presented by the council, that introduces Cub Scout
leaders and parents to the skills needed to plan and conduct Pack outdoor activities, particularly Pack camping.

September Planning & Events:
Short Term Camping Reservations
Council camp properties are there for you to use (August 15 - May 1). We have some of the best Scouting facilities in the country and
we continuously work to make the process easy for you to reserve and use these facilities. For more information contact Melinda
Kuehn, Program Secretary at the Council Office.
It’s Time to Begin Thinking About Unit Recharter
Your unit has the responsibility of renewing each member and leader annually; this process begins in October. The process is now done
100% using the internet, information to get started is in the recharter information packet that was mailed to your Unit Leader and
Committee Chairs toward the end of September. The unit selects an adult to complete the online process. This renewal processor uses
the access code provided in the mailed information to log onto the Internet Renewal system. At any time, the renewal processor can
suspend the electronic process and return later to the last completed screen. The system lets you enter new members, renew current
members, and update information for any registrant. Once submitted online, print the roster, acquire the appropriate signatures for the
printed roster and any new application, and bring them along with a unit check to your District Recharter turn-in day. Once turned into
the Council office the packet will be reviewed and if no issue, it will then be submitted to ScoutNet. Once submitted on our end, the Unit
can then print a new roster and their membership cards through their My.Scouting account. Following this procedure will ensure that
your unit meets all national registration requirements. For more information contact your Unit Commissioner or your District Executive.
Popcorn
Prepare your unit to sale Popcorn. If you did not attend your districts popcorn kickoff, make sure you get your sale material from your
District Executive. Review over all important Popcorn dates and pass that information along to your Scout families. If you have any
questions, or need more information contact your district executive or Paul Hollier, Council Development Director at the Council Office.

November Planning & Events:
Youth Protection Training
The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on creating the most secure environment possible for our youth members.
To maintain such an environment, the BSA developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies and provides parents and
leaders with resources for the Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, and Venturing programs.
BSA Youth Protection Mission Statement
True youth protection can be achieved only through the focused commitment of everyone in Scouting. It is the mission of Youth
Protection volunteers and professionals to work within the Boy Scouts of America to maintain a culture of Youth Protection
awareness and safety at the national, regional, area, council, district, and unit levels.
Youth Protection Training (YPT) is required for all adults in order to be registered with the BSA and must be retaken every two
years. While the course may be taken online or in a classroom setting, any adult member must have Youth Protection Training prior
to your registration application being processed by the Council Office. Please attach a copy of your completion certificate to your
adult application prior to turning it into the Council Office.
New to Scouting? Go to www.my.scouting.org to take Youth Protection training. You do not have to be a registered member of the
Boy Scouts of America to take Youth Protection training.
