Youth Protection Training (YPT) - Required Annually?

That’s not necessarily a Scouting issue, though. Local councils MUST comply with local and state laws; which drive many of these decisions where there are differences from council to council.

There are situations where a council crosses state lines, and in cases like this that is a reason to maybe realign councils to not cross state lines. I’ve lived in a few different states over the years and in every case that “local” laws are inconsistent it’s really an issue that gets sorted out at state levels; furthermore, I just don’t see local municipalities having youth protection based ordinance, that’s not something that they do because those are the sort of laws that have city X sue village Y.

The council and CO can and do require more stringent requirements than national. That is because National doesn’t own the unit. The CO does, which trickles up to the local council.

There have been some other disscussing about display scaling in other Scouting forum posts recently.

To take YPT version 2 (V2) online recently:

  • I put on my reading glasses
  • Using the Microsoft Edge browser
    • I started with 100% display to select YPT
    • Then I reduce the size of the lesson content display by using the browser “Settings and more” Zoom option (brought to view by clicking on the 3 dots “…” in the browser taskbar or “alt-F”

On a wide display screen laptop I normally use 50% zoom most of the time for Scoutbook, but for the training I think I had to drop the browser display to 33% or 25% to see the buttons.
