Sign up now for our final campout of the ‘25/‘26 scout year.  We’ll be staying close to home, and will be joined by Troop 1928.  We have a large group site reserved and are expecting a large turnout, so please sign up ASAP. 

In addition to cooking and camping, we’ll enjoy some friendly competition at soccer, ultimate frisbee, and softball (perhaps other field sports too).  This is an excellent opportunity to spend time with your patrol and get requirements signed off (especially for our new scouts!).

Within our Troop there are 15 Adults who need to complete the new full 90-minute course prior to your YPT expiration date.  All 15  impacted by the below change have been sent an email from the Troop. It is imperative you complete this new training prior to your YPT expiration date to maintain your Leadership role. Log into your my.scouting.org account and start the course. You don't have to do it all at one time, but it is recommend you finish each video and answer the questions before logging out. If you don't finish the video you are currently working on, the system  will restart that video when you log back in. 

The new Safeguarding Youth Refresher Training is available for those who have already completed the full Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT). You can take the 20-minute refresher if your SYT is still active or expired within the past 7 days. If it has been expired for more than 7 days, you must retake the full 90-minute course.

Those who have never completed the full SYT must take it before the refresher to receive credit. To pass the refresher, participants must successfully complete the exam on the first attempt. If they fail, they will be required to complete the full course, and the refresher cannot be retaken.
