The Boy Scouts of America has developed Youth Protection training to prepare its leaders to help children who have been, or are being, abused. Materials are for use in pack and den meetings to show Cub Scouts and their parents what they should do to prevent abuse from happening to them.
Youth Protection Training (YPT) is now available as a course on the Web from the BSA. The course will take approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the speed of your Web connection. In order to get credit for the course, you will need your BSA Member Number. We recommend that you don't start the course before you have your BSA member number ready at your fingertips! Anyone is welcome to take the course, although only registered Colonial Virginia Council Scouters can receive a YPT Training Card.
