You do not have to be a registered member or have a member ID to take Youth Protection training.

To take Youth Protection training, go to the Westchester-Putnam BSA website (www.wpcbsa.org) and create an account by clicking on the MyScouting Login on the left side of the Council home page. Once there, click on the "Create Account" button.

From the MyScouting.org portal, click on the Youth Protection training logo to take the course.

Upon completion, you may print a certificate of completion to submit with a volunteer application or submit the completion certificate to the unit leader for processing at the local council.

When your volunteer application is approved, you will receive a BSA membership card which includes your member ID number. After you receive your membership card, log back into MyScouting, click on My Profile and update the system by inputting your member ID number. This will link your Youth Protection training records, and any other training, in MyScouting to your BSA membership.
