  • The Palmetto Council Executive Board voted in 2018 that all of our registered adult leaders must be 100% trained with basic training for their registered position. That training is different if you are a Den Leader, Committee Member, Asst. Scoutmaster, etc. Most of the training is offered online through BSA’s Online Learning Center. You can find the training by position by going HERE and looking for leader specific training for the program you are registered in. We understand it can be a little overwhelming to know what to take and we are here to help. We have put together a sheet that shows the required training for each position, can can find it HERE.

  • Go to your online account in my.Scouting.org to complete online training.

  • When a leader joins a unit, they get registered into a position. That might be a committee level position or a position that has more direct contact with the youth. Regardless of the position all registerded leaders need to take Youth Protection Training prior to registration. Click HERE to take Youth Protection Training.
