You do not have to be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America to take Youth Protection training. We encourage parents and all participating adults to take the online training.
To take Youth Protection training go to My.Scouting.org and create an account. You’ll receive an email notification with your account information, including a member ID/reference number.
From the My.Scouting.org portal, click Menu then My Dashboard from the menu list. The My Training page displays to take Youth Protection training. Upon completion, you may print a training certificate and present it to our leadership team.
