Our Council is training Trainers/Facilitators to conduct YPT sessions. The facilitators are mostly District Training Chairs, Coordinators with some additional trainers identified. Several training sessions are planned over the next month and a half. Facilitators will conduct the class and test the participants. Training chairs will record YPT in Scoutnet. -

I should have said "But are far as managing to live with the rules requiring that adults be registered" . . . . I'd rather stay out of the argument about ages and genders of required BSA adults. In my area, the GSUSA elementary age troops are typically rather small and single grade. (I suppose more like a den.) For a typical year we had 13 girls. Most of the moms were registered. 3 or 4 of the dads were registered. GSUSA distinguishes between leaders ("01s" and "02s", the "leader" and "assistant leader") who are encouraged to have training and other registered adults who need not take leader training. Depending on the type of event only one or perhaps two of the adults present need to be trained; the other adults required for the adult-to-kid ratio need only be registered and background checked. So, no male "leaders", but registered, background-checked dads who were available to help out when called on. My point was that it was not hard (in my experience) to get parents to register (and pay the registration fee, and do the background check) so as to be available to help. Getting them to turn in permission slips on time was a completely different matter. -
No offense Trelienne... but how many MALE leaders did you EVER have in your GSUSA unit? -

I leave it to you guys to hash out just how bad the new rules are. But are far as managing to live with the rules: In GSUSA we were required to have two registered adults for every event. Also, any driver had to be a registered girl scout adult. So, proactively, we asked all the moms to register themselves (and do the CORI check) at the beginning of the year when they registered their daughters. Almost all did so. (They were all already used to CORI checks for school volunteering, etc, so they tought it was normal.) Thus if we needed an additional driver or a substitute adult in a pinch, we had a pool we could draw on. -
This is a big concern for the folks in our troop, the SM, ASMs and Committee Members (along with COR) have discussed and continue to discuss it. We have several points of view on BSA4G units from "its great" to "this is the end of scouts".... but the real rub is IF our CO moves forward with forming a parallel female unit... where does the leadership come from? There is a fine line between offering support, in the form or meeting space, shared gear, and adult leader manpower.... But our support staff (ASMs and committee members) are sometimes spread thin supporting the troop. Example - it is sometimes a challenge to have enough committee members at a regular weekly meeting to get a set of three to do BORs for boys wanting them. Two weeks ago, I had to step in to attend a troop campout because one ASM had an emergency at work and could not stay the entire weekend. The concern of many adults in our troop is IF we start a female troop (or help others do it).... how much of a time / talent drain is there going to be from the original unit?
