New ASMs: When are they "official"?

[scottteng 11]

In our troop we require YPT of every adult even the just parent sort. This is because of issues that are now hopefully behind us. How is a parent to know a rule is being violated if they do not know what the rules are. It makes everyone's life easier particularly when the parent wants to drop a youth off early for something and there is not proper leadership in place as yet.

Yah, OK Frank17. It sounded like there was some parent sniping behind da scenes, eh? I agree with yeh, that stuff is toxic, and yeh have to get all the adults on the same page workin' together with you as SM.

 

Get everyone focused on what's best for the kids, eh? And if that means you eliminate a pseudo-position (or add a position for that matter), you should do that. More importantly, da CC has to get on board in terms of guiding and managing the committee.

 

Good luck with it, eh! Adult "stuff" is the least fun job of the SM.

From the front page of the adult leader application:

"Youth Protection Training. All volunteers are expected to complete Youth Protection training... As a volunteer, you are expected to complete the training within 90 days of assuming a leadership position."
