Cub Fun Day was quite the success today and the rain cleared long enough for everyone to have a great time! The kiddos were able to shoot off water bottle rockets, dig for dinosaur bones, build a boat for the raingutter regatta, and learn how to properly use a BB gun, among other activities. Thank you to Anna and Jacob of Drexel BSA Pack 225 for heading up the project and to all the volunteers from the troops and packs in the district who helped man the different stations to ensure all the scouts were safe and having fun. We are looking forward to the next one!

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.
