How to Register with BSA and Get Trained

As of September 1st, 2023, all Den Meetings need at least two registered and trained adults. This means we need more registered adults to keep Den Meetings on the calendar!

Never fear! All of these things keep all of our kids safer, and make us more aware parents. Just follow these steps.

  1. Make sure you connect with Pack Leadership before you do all of this and register with Pack 734.
  2. Get Youth Protection Trained.
    Go to My.Scouting.org and click Create Account of the left side of the screen. Follow the onscreen instructions.
    Go to https://training.scouting.org/programs/6, or Youth Protection Training. Click the box labeled Mandatory- Youth Protection Training. Follow the onscreen instructions.
  3. Apply to Join Pack 734 as a Registered Adult.

  4. Do your AB506 California-specific required training.
    Go to https://californiascouting.org/ to read about what is involved.
    Then do the online training:

    and sign up for LiveScan fingerprinting:

    You can get the LiveScan done anywhere; the UPS Store in Del Mar and San Diego has easy online appointments.
  5. Save your Certificates and Receipts!
    Save a copy of your YPT certificate, your AB506 certificate, and your LiveScan receipt in a safe place. The communication at the state level is not amazing, so it’s usually easier to fix problems by forwarding a copy of the certificate and/or receipt.
