Important Changes to the Boy Scouts of America’s Youth Protection Training Policies
Youth safety is the No. 1 concern of the BSA.
To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies:
Effective June 1, 2010:
Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers.
New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.
Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
To ensure these policies are fully implemented, please take the following steps:
If you have not taken Youth Protection Training within the past two years, please log on to MyScouting and take the training. Be sure to have your member ID number. The number can be found on your Boy Scouts of America membership card.
If you do not know your member ID number, contact your unit leader or committee chairman. Your council can also assist you.
If you have taken Youth Protection Training online but did not input your member ID number, please log back on to the Training section of MyScouting and input your member ID so the training will be linked with your records.
If you have taken Youth Protection Training within the past two years but did not take the course online, log on to MyScouting to ensure your records are up to date, or contact your council and have them verify that your Youth Protection Training records are accurate.
Finally, please share these important changes with other Scouters.
Youth Protection Training is available online at http://www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx

We're expanding our Raven District Unit Commissioner Corps and we want you to be a part of it!
Being a Unit Commissioner can require as little as a single monthly phone call or a short friendly "Hi, how have you been doing?" conversation at our monthly Round Table meeting and keeping a record of it.
The goal is high and easily attainable, we only need one person from each Unit to be a helpful & friendly Unit Commissioner but bigger is better and all are welcome.

· Any kind or cylinder can with a lid that can be removed and put back on. Example, Pringles Cans, Slim Jim Cans, Baby Formula Cans
· Old pencils. Short ones and longer ones.
· Packs of Colored Sharpies. We will be using them to color most of our crafts due to time restraints.
· Large Metal Cans. Example, Large Coffee Cans or the next to large coffee cans, Large Veggie Cans such as the large Cream of Mushroom soup, 64 oz Juice Cans such as the Pineapple/ Apple juice cans used to make punch. The boys will be making walking stilts out of these cans.
· We will be doing an egg drop and need stuffing items for the boys to put their eggs in. Examples: Paper towel tubes, old egg cartons, packing peanuts, foil, small boxes, cotton balls, duct tape, concentrated juice cans, a bag of puffed rice, old ziplock storage bags, grocery bags, news paper, water bottles or anything you have laying around the house that you think boys would use to make an egg drop.
