Scoutmaster’s Minute September 2017

Scouts are always learning, and the adult leaders and parents are as well. As part of our rechartering, the troop is reviewing our records, and this is a good time to get caught up on your training! All parents, even if you’re not officially registered as a committee member, or other volunteer should take the Youth Protection Training course online (at my.scouting.org) every year. While any parent is welcome on any trip, it’s important that everyone understand the rules that we have in place to protect everyone – both youth and adults. While you’re at the site, there’s plenty of other good training to do – take a look!
