After speaking to a newly selected district training chair, we decided we should submit the following ideas:

Guide to Safe Scouting: A separate training that takes them through the GTSS and quizzes them on certain things. I make sure that the GTSS is emphasized in our district trainings but it would be great if it were required.

AND...

A new category of training - Safe Scouting.
Under this would include ALL necessary trainings for safety including but not limited to:
Youth Protection
Climb On!
Hazardous Weather
and a new GTSS training
Safe Swim/Safety Afloat, etc.

We could say simply to volunteers, please go online and complete your Safe Scouting training courses. How simple would that be?

Your ideas on safety training have been forwarded to the Health and Safety Support Committee for review and consideration at their May meeting. Any output from the committee will need to be worked into the BSA strategic plan and an integrated approach developed to implement across the BSA.

Before we get into the higher elements, lets make sure our NEW leaders know what it means to BE trained. The e-learning center does not direct people to "the next" training needed to "BE" trained. It just gives you a card. If you are not aware you need 3 seprate trainings, you will think you are done when you complete the first one.

We need more direction on the e-learning center directing people to "complete" their training and not stop at YPT.
