News from Troop 376

Trailer on its way to Greensburg, KS	Members of the Greensburg Boy Scout Troop
Have you been wondering what became of our retired Troop Trailer and our Patrol Cook Boxes and Cooking Equipment?	They now reside with the Troop in Greensburg, Kansas. After losing everything in the tornado, the Greensburg troop was very appreciative of the Troop 376 donation of a trailer and equipment. Our donation was part of a relief effort crossing multiple Councils.

Youth protection training for adult leaders and parents is available via the Internet. In addition to making the training more convenient, providing the training via the Internet coincides with the recent change in the tour permit policy.

This online training is an alternative to (not a replacement for) the existing training. Upon completion of the training, the volunteer will provide their name, address, email address and council information. Once this information is submitted, the volunteer’s name will be matched through the council’s database of registered leaders. If the name is matched, the volunteer will receive a certificate of completion, letter from Jim Terry, Heart of America Council Scout Executive, council youth protection reporting procedures and a course information handout.

To participate in the new online training, go to the Heart of America Council website, www.hoac-bsa.org, go to training, then health and safety, then youth protection. At the bottom of that page you will find a link to the online training. If you have any questions, please contact Britt Davis, the Council Training Director at 816.942.9333 or jdavis@bsamail.org.

To complete this training, you will need the i.d. number on the bottom of your registration card.
