2026 Sunrise District Spring Camporee!
The scouts of Sunrise District had a truly awesome time "Cycling to Eagle" at the Spring Camporee on May 1-3, 2026 at Wolcott Mill's Camp Rotary. The weather was perfect for bike riding, fixing flat tires and enjoying each other fellowship. Enjoy the many photos of this benchmark event!

Safeguarding Youth Training Update (June 4, 1:00 PM ET)

Scouting America has provided additional guidance regarding Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT). Volunteers are encouraged to follow these steps to ensure their training status is updated correctly:

✅ Always Start from My.Scouting
• Log into My.Scouting and use the "Start" or "Retake Course" button
• Do not search for the course manually
• This ensures you are directed to the correct version of the training

✅ Verify Your Training Status First Before Retaking Training:
• Check your training status and expiration date in My Training
• Confirm whether your SYT is already current

✅ Take the Correct Course
• If your SYT is expired beyond the allowed window or has never been completed, take the full 90-minute course
• If you are eligible and current, complete the refresher course
• Taking the wrong course may not update your certification status

✅ Watch for Navigation Prompts
• Scroll within the course window and ensure all content is viewed before proceeding
• Progress buttons may not be immediately visible on all screen sizes

✅ If the Course Freezes or Will Not Advance
• Exit the course and relaunch it from My.Scouting
• If the issue continues, report it through your council so it can be escalated to IT

✅ If You Receive an Expiration Notice
• First verify your status in My.Scouting
• Some expiration notices were sent in error and are currently being addressed
• If your training is current, there may be no action required

Scouting America is actively working with IT and Learning Management System partners to:
• Correct email notification logic to improve accuracy
• Improve course routing between the full SYT and refresher courses
• Address user interface issues affecting course navigation and completion
• Continue monitoring system performance following recent infrastructure updates

Please check My.Scouting for the most current information regarding your training status before retaking any courses.

Here’s some clarity on the Safeguarding Youth Training:

🎓 Old YPT (no 90-minute course completed)?
➡️ Full 90-minute course required

⏰ 90-minute course expired more than 6 days ago?
➡️ Full 90-minute course required

🔄 90-minute course expired 6 days or less OR still active?
➡️ Refresher course assigned

📧 Renewal emails will direct participants to “My Training”, where they can select “Take Course” or “Retake Course”. The system will automatically guide them to the correct training based on their status.

⚠️ Important note - Anyone who has completed only the refresher without ever completing the full 90-minute course will still need to complete the full course. Clearing the browser cache may be necessary to ensure the “Retake Course” button routes correctly.
