Please update your Youth Protection and take “This is Scouting” before you come. Go to vccbsa.org, “Training”, “Adult Leader Training”, and select This is Scouting or Youth Protection Training (http://www.scouting.org/Training/Adult.aspx) and log into My Scouting.

Also, you will help us by registering early. It takes as much work to prepare for 100 that don’t show up as it is for a 100 that do. Please be one I can count on.

You make a difference. There are volunteer opportunities available if you would like to combine your day with classes and staff duties.
