Today is the deadline

⏰ Friendly Reminder, Scouters! ⏰

We are officially less than one week away from the May 31st deadline for completing the updated Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT).

If you haven’t finished it yet, now is the perfect time to jump in and get it done. Completing SYT ensures all our leaders are prepared, trained, and ready to keep our Scouts safe.

You can log in anytime at My.Scouting.org to complete your training.

Let’s all do our part and stay current! Thank you for helping keep Scouting safe and strong!

As Scouts, we learn the values of duty, service, and respect—and this weekend, we reflect on the heroes who lived those values to the fullest.

This morning, local scouts, including scouts from Troops 86 and 6086, honored and remembered the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

We are proud to participate with our chartered organization, American Legion Post 153, in placing flags at Olathe Memorial Cemetery as a small way to show our gratitude and pay tribute to those who served.

May we never forget their courage. May we always carry their legacy in our hearts.

From all of us in Troops 86 and 6086, we wish you a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Friendly reminder. If you are not already, please get SYT trained by the end of the month. Scouters, you will need this to attend summer camps.

Is your Safeguarding Youth Training up to date?

🚨 Youth Protection Training (YPT) has been replaced by Safeguarding Youth Training, and all current YPT certifications will expire on Sunday, May 31, 2026. 🚨

This training is required for all registered Scouting America volunteers and must be completed to join or continue serving.

Scouting America is committed to providing a safe, high-quality program for every youth member, and that starts with well-trained adult leaders.

Make sure you complete your training before the deadline.
