When taking the online
training if you are a registered member of the
BSA, please submit a person ID to ensure
your training record is updated.
If you don't have your
person ID, continue to take the course, but please
submit your person ID the next time you log in
by selecting the My Information link.
Your person ID can be
found on the bottom of your membership card.
If you do not have your
membership card, contact your local council to
obtain your person ID.
Issues:
Reference Blocking
Some users have experienced problems with taking
the training or reporting their completion due
to firewall/security software issues. Basically,
they (or their ISP) are using software that blocks
the referring address. This is not an actual security
issue (one cannot use this information to do any
harm to a user), though some users feel it is
a matter of privacy and wish to prevent sites
from knowing where they came from.
However, preventing the YPT
site from knowing where a user comes from makes
it impossible to determine which council a user
should be reported to. Users who enter without
a referring address will receive an "Error
Type 3" screen.
We have not yet found a solution
that will enable users who encounter this problem
to report completion without jeaopardizing system
security.
If the user cannot disable
the software, there is no way for them to complete
the training online.
