YPT Update From District

Hello Troop 110 (B&G) families,

We want to update you on information regarding YPT that we got from district. Please see below.

You may retake YPT on your own schedule by accessing the course at my.scouting.org. If you prefer a classroom setting, you can attend one of our Zoom classes in November 2021.

• Sat 6th, 9:00 am
• Fri 12th, 7:00 pm
• Sun 21st, 4:00 pm

Check the website calendar to confirm dates & times as well as register to attend a session.

GGAC adopts stricter rules regarding YPT

One change that affects all registered Adult Leaders in Mission Peak is the new stricter rule that the GGAC Board of Directors adopted in April 2021 regarding YPT.

At recharter time, all Adults wishing to be included must have a YPT certificate that is valid for the entire period of the new charter.

For the 2022 recharter, this translates to adults needing to have NO expiration dates in 2022 and having expiration dates on or beyond 1/1/23. Your cooperation in retaking YPT before your Unit submits their recharter information in November would be greatly appreciated.

Troop Parents Please Update Your YPTs

Hello all parents of troop 110,

We are in the process of updating our YPT (Youth Protection Training) for all our troop leaders and parents. It is a very important training for our troop parents for the safety of our scouts. It's a very short online training which won't take much of your time. 

Many of you might have already taken the training in the past and would already have an account. For you it's time to renew the YPT if not recently taken. Some of you might be new to it and might have to create an account. 

To take Youth Protection training go to My.Scouting.org and create an account (if you don't already have an account). You'll receive an email notification with your account information, including a member ID/reference number.

Once you login From the My.Scouting.org portal, click Menu then 'My Dashboard' from the menu list. The 'My Training' page displays to take 'Youth Protection Training'. Upon completion, you may print a YPT certificate and/or save an electronic copy on your device. [YptGuidance.pdf]

Please send the e-copy of the certificate to me, anu@bsatroop110.org (please cc Scoutmaster Sreev/Archana for boys/girls respectively, scoutmaster@bsatroop110.org/scoutmaster-girls@bsatroop110.org, and the Committee chair Ankur, committeechair@bsatroop110.org). I will keep a record of the YPT status of our troop adults. Those who have updated their YPT already, please send me your current YPTs. I will remind parents in a timely manner if your YPT is close to expiration.

One very important notice from GGAC for registered adults - "Beginning June 1 2021, all adults with expiring YPT certificates will have their registration revoked if the training is not completed by the end of the month in which the certificate expires."

Please help all our troop parents get YPT trained. Thanks to all those adults who have already sent their YPTs to me.

Kind regards,

Anu Zindal
Training Coordinator, BSA Troop 110
