Youth Protection Training Now Required For Merit Badge Counselors
Cherokee/Pickens District, As you may have heard, per the National Council, youth protection training is now mandatory for all registered adults in the BSA. This includes Merit Badge counselors. All new Merit Badge counselors must submit a copy of a current youth protection training certificate with the adult application. Applications without the certificate will not be accepted. Also, counselors without current youth protection training will be dropped from the list of approved Merit Badge counselors at recharter time. These changes are effective immediately. Remember, youth protection training expires every two years. Please take a few minutes to complete youth protection training if you have not already done so. In Scouting, Seth
