When creating your
account for online training, make sure to provide your BSA ID number. If you don't have one yet, you can still
register and complete the training. Make
sure to print your course certificate, which will be available once you
complete a course. You can update your
online member information at a later time when you receive your BSA ID.
Boy Scout Leader Fast Start - This is the first step to take
for any volunteer new to Boy Scouting. This course should be taken before
beginning youth activities. You'll learn the aims and purposes of the Boy
Scouts of America's core program, then zero in on the job. You'll cover the
seven parts of the troop meeting, the troop committee, outdoor program, and
other basic concepts of Scouting, all in one short online experience.
Troop Committee
Challenge - (Not required for the Committee Member Track) This fun and interactive training serves as a vital tool
for new troop committee members as well as for veterans. The mission of the
Troop Committee Challenge training is to help each troop committee work as a
team to improve the Scouting experience for adult and youth members. It helps
build the commitment of individual members as well as cultivates a better troop
committee team.
Youth Protection
Training -
The BSA places the greatest importance on creating the
most secure environment possible for our youth members. All Cub Scout and Boy
Scout adult volunteers should take this course. It covers the BSA's Youth
Protection policies, kinds of abuse, signs of abuse, how to respond to
disclosure of abuse, and proper reporting procedures. It does so by taking you
through situations that require choices and produce consequences. Successful
completion of this course requires an 80 percent or higher score.
If you take this test as a registered member of the BSA
and designate your local council, your completion will be reported back to your
council to adjust your training records. You'll also be offered a certificate
of completion. It is a good idea to print out both the web page that shows your test score and the certificate.
Safety Afloat - Safety Afloat has been developed to promote boating and
boating safety and to set standards for safe unit activity afloat. Before a BSA
group may engage in an excursion, expedition, or trip on the water (canoe, raft,
sailboat, motorboat, rowboat, tube, or other craft), adult leaders for such
activity must complete Safety Afloat Training, have a commitment card with
them, and be dedicated to full compliance with all nine points of Safety
Afloat.
Safe Swim Defense - Before a BSA group may engage in swimming activities of
any kind, a minimum of one adult leader must complete Safe Swim Defense
training, have a commitment card (No. 34243) with them, and agree to use the
eight defenses in this plan.
