Central Virginia College of Commissioner Science

If you have just completed a tour as a Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, or any other adult Scouter position and want to continue to service Scouting in a different capacity, consider becoming a Unit Commissioner. A Unit Commissioner normally supports three units and draws on your experiences to help new leaders provide the Scouting program to their unit. Unit Commissioners are the “behind-the-scenes” support that ALL units need. Commissioners are district and council leaders who help Scout units succeed. They coach and consult with adult leaders of Cub Scout packs, Scouts BSA troops, and Venturing crews. Commissioners help local units maintain the standards set by Scouting America.

Included courses are recommended for:

Unit Leaders (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, Explorers)
Unit Commissioners
Roundtable Commissioners and Staff
District Commissioners and Assistant District Commissioners

Scouting America has officially launched SAFE Guarding Youth Training, a newly enhanced youth protection program that replaces the long-standing Youth Protection Training (YPT). Effective May 16, 2025, this updated training reflects the organization’s deepened commitment to youth safety, incorporating current best practices, broader awareness topics, and a more proactive approach to safeguarding young people.

Why the Change?

For decades, YPT served as the foundation of Scouting’s efforts to prevent abuse and create safe environments. However, as society evolves and new risks emerge—particularly in digital spaces—Scouting America recognized the need for a more modern, adaptable training. SAFE Guarding Youth Training was developed in collaboration with child safety experts, mental health professionals, and youth advocates to better equip volunteers to handle the complex realities young people face today.

Key Features of SAFE Guarding Youth Training

Annual Requirement: Unlike the former YPT, which was required every two years, SAFE Guarding Youth Training must be completed every year by all registered adult volunteers. This ensures that leaders are regularly refreshed on safety protocols and updates.
Modernized Content: The training includes updated modules on:

Abuse prevention (physical, emotional, and sexual)
Online and social media safety
Mental health awareness and support
Recognizing and responding to grooming behaviors
Creating a culture of accountability and intervention

Flexible Format: The full training takes about 90 minutes to complete, with annual refresher courses available that take only 15–20 minutes. All training is accessible through my.scouting.org.
Transitional Policy: Volunteers who have already completed YPT will remain compliant until their current certification expires. Once it does, they will be required to take the new SAFE Guarding Youth Training to maintain their registration.

What Volunteers Need to Do

All adult volunteers, both new and returning, must complete the SAFE Guarding Youth Training before their next registration or re-chartering. Units should build time into their schedules to ensure every leader is compliant and understands the new content.

A Renewed Commitment to Youth Safety

The launch of SAFE Guarding Youth Training is more than a procedural change—it’s a bold reaffirmation of Scouting America’s promise to keep youth safe. Through increased awareness, timely education, and a focus on culture change, this new training ensures that every young person in Scouting can grow and thrive in a secure, supportive environment.

Joining a new Scout unit can be a little overwhelming at first. You’re presented with a calendar full of fun upcoming activities, but all the new people, places and things can seem like a lot to digest.

Fortunately there’s help. It comes in the form of a volunteer whose job is all about making new members feel right at home.

Every unit needs a

New Member Coordinator!
