Adult Registration Process Update

From My.Scouting.org>invitation manager, a unit can send an adult volunteer an application to join and the process is completed online. Let your new volunteer know about Youth Protection Training and about setting up a My.Scouting.org account to speed up the process.

Completed Apps go to Chartered Organization Representative (COR) for approval.

COR wanting to delegate? No problem! A COR can delegate adult leader approval authority to another volunteer leader by setting up a COR Delegate.
