As dedicated leaders in Scouting, the safety of our youth is always our top priority. To maintain the highest standards of care, Hazardous Weather Training empowers you with the knowledge to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to weather-related risks during outdoor activities.

All Direct Contact Leaders are required to complete Hazardous Weather Training to be considered “trained” in their position. Though, it is recommended that any adult leader, who is attending an outdoor event with a unit complete Hazardous Weather Training.  

Direct Contact Leaders must complete Hazardous Weather training every two years to retain “trained” status. Leaders should receive an email notification of their expiration date, from my.Scouting (similar to Youth Protection emails). Leaders can also see their training status in their my.Scouting account under My Training. 

Hazardous Weather Training can ONLY be completed using the on-line modules offered through my.Scouting

Not only is completing this training essential to following BSA policy, but it also demonstrates your commitment to creating safe and memorable experiences for the Scouts we serve. Together, let’s ensure that every adventure is a safe adventure. Thank you for your dedication to Scouting.  

Stay Prepared, Stay Safe, Stay Trained
