People who legitimately expire after 5/31/26 have already done the new SYT. Those who show an expiration date after 5/31 have already done the new course and will be able to do a 20-minute refresher that went live last month. I did the refresher about 6 weeks prior to my expiration date. I completed the new SYT as soon as it was released on the last day of the 2025 NAM. My certificate initially showed an expiration date of 5/17/2027, however, about a week later National changed all expiration dates to 5/31/26. Individuals who completed the new SYT after May 31 last year will expire one year from the date of completion. My district has 16 people expiring between 6/126 - 6/25/26. -
Nope. If your YPT expires after 5/31, you have to take the whole new safeguarding youth training before 5/31. -
Oa is owned by and for bs camps . A week long stay where housing and meals are provided is not near the starting idea of a week long event with patrol cooking and activites in tents you carried and set up. My first years our troop did its own. My first time going to council camp was for an event i won. -
Way to much . I will make it much simpler start with summer camp where they have 100% control.

You say sadly; however, a multi patrol troop can easily put on a resident/long term camp on its own for a fifth of the cost and get all.of the non MB experience in without the annoyance of being on a campnwide schedule. If OA took the long term camp requirement out the resident camps.in my state would easily lose 25 to 50% of their campers.
