Position specific training is required for the leadership position you are registered in. For example, if you are registered as a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster, you must complete all of the training for your specific position to be considered "fully trained" in your position. Whether you are just joining us as a new volunteer or you're a seasoned member, proper training is the most important thing that we can offer to our Scouts.
Every leader in Scouting America must have current Youth Protection Training (meaning within the last 2 years) and Hazardous Weather training (renews every year). No registration, whether new or a renewal, will be accepted without YPT.
To see what training is required for your position, visit Scouting America's Position Trained Requirements page for details! Once you have found the training your position requires, visit my.scouting.org to compete your online training. Some training may not be available online. Contact the council office or visit https://hoac-bsa.org for details.
Remember, every scout deserves a trained leader!
