The Piedmont Council flag will fly at half mast this week in honor of long time Scouter Bentley “Ben” Mabee. Ben was an active member of T503, a fixture in the kitchen at OA events, and served in many roles in the former Two Rivers district including District Commissioner. Ben will be truly missed and we send our thoughts and prayers to his wife Carol and his entire family.

Have you taken the NEW Safeguarding Youth Training yet?
Make sure you've taken it before Sunday, May 31, 2026, as that is when Youth Protection Training EXPIRES!
Youth Protection Training (YPT) has been replaced by the new Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT). This training is required for all Scouting America registered volunteers and is a joining requirement.
Here are some updates regarding the new training:

➡️ If you have not taken the NEW SYT full 90 Minute course, you must take that first before you can take the refresher to get full SYT credit.
➡️ If your SYT is expired for 7 days or more, you must take the full 90 minute course again.
➡️ If you fail the course quiz on the refresher course with less than an 80% on your first attempt, you will be directed back to the full 90 minute course.
➡️ The course is available in the Volunteer Learn Center in English and Spanish.
