Youth Protection Training (YPT)

Youth Protection Training is an online course and test that takes 1-2 hours. YPT is renewed every two years. It’s broken into segments, so you can do it in more than one session. Instructions for completing YPT can be found here: https://my.scouting.org/Documents/YptGuidance.pdf
