CAP and Venturing and Aviation

Explorer divisions of the Boy Scouts of America have much in  common. CAP encourages dual membership in both CAP and BSA as either an Aviation Exploring Post or Venturing Crew, with CAP being the chartered partner. By being the chartered partner, CAP is the basis for the union; therefore, members first belong to CAP. The existing CAP structure does not change and all members will conform to CAP standards and wear the CAP uniform.

Venture Crew 351 Adult Leaders,

New BSA regulations make youth protection training mandatory for all adult leaders (see email below). Previous BSA regulations only required there to be at least two trained adult leaders at any function. The new regulations also require the training to be repeated at least every two years. The CPPT training from CAP does not satisfy this requirement.

You may log onto http://www.myscouting.org to complete this training online. Instructions for loging on to your MyScouting account are in the email below.

Once you are in the system, you may use the following procedure to find the proper training for Venture Crews:

• Log on to your MyScouting account
• Click on the "E-Learning" link under the "Training" heading on the index on the left side of the page.
• Click on the "Venturing Tab"
• Click on the "Take Course" link to the right of the "Youth Protection Training - Venturing Version"
• Complete the course.
• When you have completed the course, the circle to the left of the course should turn green in the "E-Learning Course Management System."
• Click on the "View Certificate" link and print out a copy of your certificate. Bring a copy of the certificate to a squadron meeting to put in your file.
