Youth Protection Training Required for All Leaders

From BSA National -- Effective June 1, 2010

Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers.
New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training before they submit an 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.

A very thorough article about insect repellent is at http://zenbackpacking.net/InsectRepellent.htm. No need to get 100% DEET.

As of June 1, all adults in scouting must receive the online training, and the record of their training must be turned in as part of their application. Youth Protection training is valid for two years.

Regarding United Way of Madison County: will probably change status with UW to "designee only". May even completely remove ourselves from UW of Madison County.
