Is Your YPT Current?

Posted by fsaenz on Nov 18 2022 - 3:29am

Message:

There are many adult leaders whose YPT is expired or is about to expire. The Troop needs all registered adults whose YPT expires before March 2023 to renew it before the meeting on Sunday, November 27th to be eligible for recharter.

Remember that YPT is the most basic of BSA trainings that all registered adults must complete. YPT is necessary to maintain our Troop status and it's required for all adults that participate in Scouting activities. Adults with missing or expired YPT are not allowed to attend campouts or any event involving Scouts.

You can take the course online at My.Scouting.org and should only take about an hour. Send your completed certificate to recharter@troop845.org.
