1) Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers. Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years (was each year). Training or Membership Chair will contact those that need updating.

2) Troop 373's  Best Practices policy is that parents that are attending Troop Campouts should also take Youth Protection Training. In doing so it increases the safety of our Scouts. This also helps parents and leaders to be all on the same page on BSA camping and outings.  This can reduce conflict and confusion.  Parents that do not go camping are also encouraged to take the class.

Youth Protection training is free to take and is offered online.

You may complete the online class at your time and pace.
