7/12 - Conservation Hours Opportunity at Don Edwards!
|
|
|
Join us at the Don Edward Stewardship Day on July 12th at 9am!
|
Come enjoy the sunshine as you give back to the Refuge for the benefit of your community and all the wildlife that lives here. With summer in full effect, July brings buzzing wildlife and unique blooms. Weeds, like the invasive stinkwort, also thrive in the summertime and we need your help to prevent their excessive spread. Enjoy beautiful marshland sights and great bird viewings as you help us remove invasive weeds along the La Riviere Marsh trail.

Is your Youth Protection Training up to date? Time to check!
|
|
Have you double-checked to see if your Online Youth Protection training is up-to-date? To remain registered and avoid being suspended, please make sure to complete the required training before your expiration date.
|
A few important reminders regarding the new SYT system:
|
- If you have never taken the full 90-minute SYT course, you must complete the full course first before taking the 20-minute refresher.
- If your SYT has been expired for 7 days or more, you will need to retake the full 90-minute course.
- If you previously completed the older YPT course, you must still complete the new 90-minute SYT course. Taking only the refresher will not give you credit.
- If you take the refresher course first without previously completing the full SYT course, it will not count toward your training requirement.
- If you score below 80% on the refresher quiz on your first attempt, the system will direct you back to the full course.
The courses are available in both English and Spanish through https://my.scouting.org/. Please login to your account and click on the safeguarding youth logo to take the training.
More information available here: https://www.scouting.org/training/safeguarding-youth/
Staying current on SYT is required for all registered adult volunteers and helps us continue providing a safe environment for all youth in Scouting.
