Your Youth Protection Training is good for two years from the date you originally take or renew it.  When your training is about to expire you will be notified by National beginning 90 days before it is due to expire at the email address you used in registering for scouting. You can check your status anytime at my.scouting.org. Click here for a How To Guide to take Youth Protection Training.

This policy, effective March 2023, refers to both adults and adult-participants 18 and over.

What if my Youth Protection Training expires in the months of January through August?

Any registered adults and adult-participants over 18 will have their registration expired without refund three business days prior to the last business day of the month in which their Youth Protection Training expires. 

What if my registration is expired?

No refund of fees paid is made and if you want to reinstate your registration you will need to complete Youth Protection Training and a new Adult Application in its entirety, pay the appropriate registration fees and go through the registration process like any other new volunteer. 

What if you have received notification that your Youth Protection Training is expiring and your records say it is current?

Please forward a copy of the YPT certificate that was emailed to you by the national office to our Council Registrar, jodi.szahlender@scouting.org, to update your personal profile. Only this certificate is acceptable proof of your status. 

What if I am no longer participating in Scouts?

Please notify our Council Registrar, jodi.szahlender@scouting.org.

What if I have a question not listed here or want more clarification?

Contact your district executive.
