- Online or face-to-face YPT certifications earned prior to March 2018 will no longer be valid after October 1
- All adult volunteers are required to have the new YPT certification, regardless of whether you hold a youth-facing position in the Troop
- If you have not taken the new youth protection training course, you must do so by October 1 to be included on the Troop’s recharter.
The good news is that this new course satisfies both the BSA and Texas law requirements, so there is no longer a need to attend the separate face-to-face training. Completing this course online is easy, just log ontomy.scouting.org. Here are some YPT Training Tips to make the process a little easier.
If you have any questions including questions about how to take the training or whether your training is current, please let me know (you can click on my name below to send me an email).
