September

11- Popcorn Kickoff

25 – Popcorn Sales Starts

Effective June 1, 2010, the following YPT policy took affect:

As you know, the Boy Scouts of America recently put out a change to YPT. 

Effective in June, all registered members must have completed YPT this includes Charter Reps. If you are registered, you must have YPT.  YPT is only valid for 2 years so if you have not taken it in the last year, please take the course on line as soon as possible.  Units who recharter in December must have all adult registered members current in their YPT and all new members must complete YPT, print out the certificate and submit it with the new Adult registration form when the charter is submitted to the office.  Without this, your unit cannot be recharter.
