Youth Protection Guidelines
Training on Youth Protection Guidelines (YPG) will be provided weekly in each TMR camp. This condensed training is required every two years for all unit leaders. See your camp's Program Director to find out when courses are being given in your camp.

Additionally, the National BSA Office has made YPG training available online for registered scouters. Upon successful completion of the online course, a certificate, card and letter will be printed out automatically. If you are interested in taking the online course, click here.

New Leader Essentials
To become a trained adult leader in the BSA, one must successfully complete three training courses in sequence: 1) New Leader Essentials (NLE), 2) Leader-Specific-Training and 3) Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills. NLE Training, the first step in the process, is offered each week at Camp Aquehonga on Monday evenings. This course is open to leaders from all camps across the reservation. For full details, visit the Camp Aquehonga Leader Training page.

Training To Support Year-Round Unit Programming
It is our goal to provide training in each camp that will support your unit's year-round camping program. The following training courses will be offered in each individual camp during your stay. We strongly recommend that one leader from each unit attend. The location and timing of each course varies however from camp to camp. To find out when training takes place in your camp, contact the Program Area Director (indicated below), your Program Director or see your individual camp's training page.

Guide to Safe Scouting
The purpose of the Guide to Safe Scouting is to prepare adult leaders to conduct Scouting activities in a safe and prudent manner. The policies and guidelines have been established because of the real need to protect members from known hazards that have been identified through 90-plus years of experience.
