RECHARTER
Make sure that all adults have Youth Protection Training up-to-date, addresses, phone numbers, and positions are correct NOW!! Leaders will not be registered at recharter if they do not have current Youth Protection (within 2 years). To find out how to go online and update or complete Youth Protection go to www.MyScouting.org and simply follow the directions on the page. If you need a Youth Protection Training scheduled for your unit contact Danielle Hughes at (757) 534-8500.
Youth Protection Training
Now all new adult applications require youth protection documentation showing that you have taken the training. Council Service Center will not be able to register applicantss unless documentation is attached along with the Background Check Form. This protects you and the youth you work with.
Read about the important changes to national policy in the training section.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT (ADVANCEMENT)
Online advancements can be accessed through www.myscouting.org and using the unit id number. It is a great resource and tool for keeping up with unit advancements. Contact Lisa Murdock @ (757) 473-8761 for the unit id number.
IMPORTANCE OF RECRUITING
Scouts remember making a pinewood derby, catching their first fish, camping outdoors, and having s'mores with their cub scout pack late at night, more importantly then what video game they played last week. When you talk to an adult who was in Scouting when they were younger, they always remember what they learned and how it pertains to them now in what they do. Make a difference in a youth's life and give them an experience in the World of Scouting. Make sure every boy has that chance by recruiting in your unit. Without an active recruiting program we will soon have less youth to serve and have less opportunities to be relevant to the youth of our district.
SOME IDEAS FOR RECRUITING:
Peer to Peer
Church Events
Recreation Center
Festivals
Fall Carnivals
Bounce House
Door to Door Hangers
Cinema Cafe/Kangaroo Jack
Sports Events
If your unit needs flyers, PTA letter, use of the Council Bounce House, or resources for recruiting please contact Danielle Hughes @ (757) 534-8500 or danielle.hughes@scouting .org
