What Does This Mean to Leaders?
Now that the Council has adopted a Program of Required Training, what does it mean to me and other Adult Leaders in my Unit?
First, this is an excellent opportunity to make certain that your official training record is up to date. The Unit Leader or Committee Chair should contact the District Training Chair or District Executive to obtain a record of each Leaders training record. In fact, a copy of each Leader’s training record was distributed at District Roundtables during the past few months. After examining his or her record, if the Leader believes that training courses are not reflected on their record, annotate the record with the title and approximate date the course was completed and send it to the Council Registrar (Kathy Znosko), who will update that Leader’s record. Proof of completed training is helpful but not required.
If a Leader needs to complete Fast Start or Youth Protection Training (YPT), the best way of taking this training is by computer, through the BSA Online Learning Center. When initially logging into the BSA on-line system, you will be prompted for basic identifying information. It would be helpful if you had your BSA identification number, from your registration card. (Your BSA ID number is also listed on your Unit charter). Even without your ID number, you can still take on-line training.
YPT for Venturing is available through the BSA Online Learning Center,
Once you have completed each course, your official record at the Council should be automatically updated. Check with the Registrar two or three days later to confirm that your records have been updated.
If you don’t have access to a computer terminal at home or through your public library, contact your Unit Leader or Committee Chair to schedule a training session. You could also check with your District Training Chair to see when District-wide programs are being offered.
For Leaders needing to complete New Leader Essential Training (which usually includes YPT), as well as Leader Specific Training and Introduction to Outdoor Skills, please look on the Council Training Web Site for current course listings and schedules. The Course is also available on-line at the Council Web Site. Contact your District Training Chair for more information. The Council Training Committee is planning to offer Leader Specific Training for Scoutmasters and ASMs during summer camp sessions at Camp Sequassen.
Remember: "…every youth deserves a Trained Leader…"
