Youth Protection Training

ALL leaders are required to take basic training starting with YPT (Youth Protection Training). This program goes over the basics of appropriate behavior and unacceptable and untolerated behavior by everyone involved in Scouting.
Two Deep Leadership (As shown to right). Pack 75, Troop 75, and Crew 75 strictly adhere to and promote two deep leadership, and ALL YPT policies. Two deep leadership means two adults must be present and within view of other Scouts and parents. By adhering to this policy we can help to further enhance the safety of children.
After YPT or Youth Protection Training has been completed there are several other areas of training available
