Confirm that the adult applicant has a valid BSA YPT and Mandated Reporter Training certification valid through the end of their registration period and has completed LiveScan fingerprinting. Although YPT is valid for 2 years, GGAC requires it to be valid through a registration period and may need to be updated annually. Mandated Reporter Training is required by the State of California every 2 years.

Verify compliance with the BSA ID number and last name:

To verify YPT, login to My Scouting and click the blue circle at the bottom right of the page. Click the option to check YPT status.

For AB-506 verification, leaders should review the AB-506 report for their unit using the link below.

The COR and a COR delegate have the necessary permission to login to My Scouting in order to accept an adult leader application in Application Manager.

If an application is processed for a leader that is not compliant with YPT and AB-506 requirements within 60 days, their membership may be moved into a 'Suspended' status until they become compliant.

If the unit leader has any questions or concerns about a volunteer's AB-506 compliance, please escalate to your district staff. We hope to have an automated process that allows a unit level search in the future and will update this page accordingly if the process should change.
