🚨EXPIRED = Youth Protection Training (YPT) on May 31, 2026🚨
🚨OVERDUE = The new Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT)🚨

Youth Protection Training (YPT) has been replaced by the new Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT). Every registered leader must have taken SYT by May 31, 2026, to continue to participate in Scouting.

Failure to have taken the course means:
⛔Suspension of your account
⛔No access to Scoutbook Plus
⛔No participation in unit activities as a leader (including meetings, outdoor activities, service projects, summer camp, etc.)

💻Once completed it can typically take 24-48hrs for the course to show on your account.

⚠️If you have not taken the NEW SYT full 90 Minute course, you MUST TAKE THAT FIRST before you can take the refresher to get full SYT credit.

⏳ There is still time to register for the July NYLT Course at Latimer Scout Reservation!

NYLT is more than Scouting skills—it is leadership, communication, teamwork, and real-life skills youth carry into school, home, future careers, and beyond.

Many parents and leaders notice the difference quickly. Scouts come back with greater confidence, stronger leadership skills, and experiences that make an impact long after course ends.

This youth-led course is powered by incredible youth leadership and designed to help Scouts grow in ways that reach far beyond Scouting.

Don’t delay—spots fill quickly!
