The new Safeguarding Youth Training went live Friday, May 16. Scouters are encouraged to take the new 90-minute training now, but they will be required to take the training when their current Youth Protection Training expires. It’s designed to replace Youth Protection Training and adds a section on S.A.F.E. Scouting. The new SYT training is good for one year. To renew, you'll need to review a 10-15 minute video and take the refresher test. If you pass with an 80 percent or above, you've recertified. If not, then you will take the entire SYT module. This online training is taken at https://my.scouting.org/

NYLT stands for National Youth Leadership Training and has been Scouting’s premiere leadership training program since its establishment in 2003. The training is held over 6 days, or a two-weekend span and scouts will learn important Scout and life skills that can translate over to troop leadership and even everyday life. To participate in NYLT, scouts must meet the following requirements: Be at least 13 years of age and at least of First Class rank , have approval from their unit leader AND parents/guardians, and have completed the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST). There are several courses offered in Michigan Crossroads Council this year. You can register and learn more here: https://scoutingevent.com/272-2025MCCNYLT
