A Scout leader is entitled to wear the Trained leader emblem when he or she has completed some basic but important training courses.

Youth Protection Training.
    
Youth Protection training is required for all registered adults. At all times, youth safety is the number one priority.  At the same time, adults need to know the rules for keeping themselves safe, too.  Comprehensive Youth Protection training teaches all the do’s and don’ts of working with youth. The training is offered through the Online Learning Center, or it may be taken as part of an district or council training course.
