We have many events scheduled and in order for any of the events to occur, we need all Troop 37 parents to sign-up as Adult Advisors for these troop events. Remember, each and every Scout BSA activity requires a minimum of 2 adults (and at least one female adult for any event with female scouts attending). We are requesting one adult family member per Scout volunteer for a minimum of one activity/program during the year to help support their program.
- Indicate Troop Volunteer Interest(s)
- Step 5: Complete Youth Protection Training Certificate
- One adult from each family is requested to include a copy of their current Youth Protection Training (YPT) certificate. See detail: How to Guide for Taking Youth Protection Training. The updated mandatory training includes three modules and a test that takes a little over an hour to complete.
