Good Afternoon Everyone,

This is just a reminder that all leaders and parents attending BTSR this summer must have YPT training before arrival.  YPT training is good for two years from the date taken. It can be taken at

www.samhoustonbsa.org/Home/Training/On-LineTraining/

 

Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat will be offered to adult leaders at "The Old Folks Home" at BTSR on Monday of the week we are there, however, I would suggest taking those trainings online as well at www.samhoustonbsa.org/Home/Training/On-LineTraining/ to save time. 

 

Once you have completed these training courses, please e-mail me with your completion date so we can get the info into Troopmaster.

 

Let me know if you have any questions about training. e-mail

 

Thank you.

Kimberly
