Boy Scouts of America® Western Massachusetts Council

Training

Adult leaders in units are considered trained and eligible to wear the official Trained emblem when they have completed Youth Protection Training and the training courses outlined on each respective program page listed under the "Training" menu, or have completed Youth Protection Training and a previous basic training course when it was current.

Youth Protection Training is a joining requirement for all registered adults and must be retaken every two years in-person, or online at my.Scouting.org

Training on Request

In an effort to meet the changing needs of our volunteers, the Council and District Training Committees  are committed to providing training where and when you need it. This Training on Request is facilitated by the volunteer Training Committee staff. If you and your Unit or several Units in your area would like a training course offered for you, we can help.
