Online Yp Without Myscouting For Non-Registered Adults (Parents)?

[5yearscouter]

if they are only regular old parents, just keep a list of names and dates after showing them the video. 

I have made a dummy account before on myscouting.org that used the pack email address, and then just shown the video over and over to the parents who needed the training.  We require anyone who camps overnight with the youth or goes on outings to take ypt for their own protection/reminder of rules/etc.

 

If they ever want to register, they'll need some kind of certificate or proof, so if you use a dummy account, you put in their name on the profile and then it will print a certificate with their name.  don't put in a member id number or you'll mess it all up though. that would be if you are showing the video to individuals one at a time.

 

my DE will also give me cards that he's signed to hand out to those who watch the video in a group setting, which they can attach a copy to their application if they ever do register.

 

Then once they are registered if they don't show as trained for some reason, a key 3 or training chair if authorized in your unit can log into the my.scouting and add their training and date into scout net.

Is it me, but is the automatic link from myscouting.org to my.scouting.org really messed up and useless? A former volunteer, who is an info specialist, had some issues trying to do YPT. She can make most databases dance on her fingertips, but not BSA's.

My pack uses the DVD. We do a session right before recharter and that helps the recharter go smoothly.

I have found that asking people to do it on their own is problematic. Doing it as a group ensures it gets done.

I've asked my troop to do this for years, the SM doesn't see the point. He's pretty dumb, so I never expected him to do it in the first place. Edited July 21, 2015 by Scouter99

We require all adults who camp with our unit to be registered with the unit, which means valid YPT. If we ever get "guests" (e.g., grandpa, uncle) they MUST complete the online YPT and provide a certificate. Never had anyone complain.
