Digital Resource Guide
What is a Digital Resource Guide?
A Digital Resource Guide supplements merit badge pamphlets by consolidating current and relevant learning resources in one place.
Designed to be accessible and self-paced, the guide uses videos and interactive elements to support independent and engage learning.
The guide offers practical tools and ideas to help leaders organize meetings and tailor instruction to varying knowledge levels.
This is a supplemental learning guide, NOT a replacement-tool. The guide supports traditional merit badge learning alongside a counselor by bridging printed materials with interactive, real-world applications.

Safeguarding Youth Refresher Training
The new Safeguarding Youth Refresher Training has launched to help you renew this annual required training.
If you have completed the full Safeguarding Youth Training (SYT) course and it is currently active or has expired within the last 7 days, you are eligible to take the Refresher Training.
If your full SYT training has been expired for 7 days or more, you will need to complete the full Safeguarding Youth Course again before receiving credit.
If you have not taken the full 90-minute Safeguarding Youth Course, you must take that before taking the 20-minute refresher. If you take the 20-minute refresher but don’t take the full course, you will not get credit for SYT.
Participants taking the Refresher Training must successfully pass the exam on the first attempt to receive credit for the Y01 training code. If the exam is not passed, the system will automatically route you to the full Safeguarding Youth Course to ensure a complete review of the material. Once the refresher exam is failed, the refresher course cannot be relaunched, and the full course must be completed.
The Safeguarding Youth Refresher Training will be available in English and Spanish in the Volunteer Learn Center under the following course titles:
