BSA has taken the wraps off of http://www.beascout.org, a new website to help prospective members find new units in your area.  It works like this:  the registered leaders for your unit log into scouting.org.  On the left, under the link to training, is a link to BeAScout.  Once there, you can select which leader information or other information will be displayed when someone searches for a unit, as well as any special notes or even your own custom icon.

Once your information is there, when someone searches on beascout.org, they will get a Google map with the unit locations marked with a small icon, similar to what our district site used to do.

Per the attached memo from National, starting June 1st, 2010, Youth Protection Training will become mandatory for all volunteer leaders.

• Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers.
• New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.
• Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
