YPT
To: Mission Peak Registered Adults who still need to retake YPT
Subject: Please retake YPT ASAP so your Unit can recharter before Tue 11/30.

Summary Call to Action: If you are receiving this email, we have no record of you successfully retaking YPT. If you intend to recharter with your Unit for 2022, you must retake YPT NOW.

Solutions to common problems taking YPT

  1. Make sure you start by logging into my.scouting.org, not other scouting websites.
  2. If you can’t successfully open the training,
    1. try closing and reopening your browser
    2. try using a different browser
    3. try clearing your browser history/cache
  3. If you get ~80% through the Sexual Abuse module but can’t complete it, schedule a time with Steve Conn to complete it over Zoom, sfconn@gmail.com, 510-220-6710
  4. If you believe you have completed YPT, but don’t show up on the reports as having completed it (i.e. you still keep getting pestered by Steve Conn or your Unit Leaders), you probably have duplicate BSA ID #’s that need to be merged. Send a copy of your completion certificate to Steve Conn so he can give you credit and get your ID’s merged so this does not happen in the future.

Current YPT Status

    GGAC adopts stricter rules regarding YPT

    One change that affects all registered Adult Leaders in Mission Peak is the new stricter rule that the GGAC Board of Directors adopted in April 2021 regarding YPT.
    At recharter time, all Adults wishing to be included must have a YPT certificate that is valid for the entire period of the new charter.

    For the 2022 recharter, this translates to adults needing to have NO expiration dates in 2022 and having expiration dates on or beyond 1/1/23. Your cooperation in retaking YPT before your Unit submits their recharter information in November would be greatly appreciated.
