Found in the "About Us & How to Join" page seen on the left side of this Website, See below about being an Adult Leader registered with the Troop and, in addition, a Merit Badge Counselor -- Troop 631 expects that except in rare circumstances every adult registering as a Merit Badge Counselor will register first as either an Assistant Scoutmaster or Troop Committee Member:

• Safeguarding Youth Training.  if you do not have a current Scouting America Membership ID Number with current -- within two years -- "Safeguarding Youth Training" (formerly known as "Youth Protection Training"), your Adult Application needs to be coupled with evidence of completion of "Safeguarding Youth Training" by taking the course at my.scouting.org.
• For more on how to take Safeguarding Youth Training On Line, see our Adult Leader Training Page for how to access https://my.scouting.org/.

• Adult Application to be a Troop Leader (including ASM and Committee).  Now online.  Here's how.

1. Set up a My.Scouting account, or if you have one, log into your existing My.Scouting account.
2. Do you have current "Safeguarding Youth Training" (like in the past year)? If not, STOP and go to the "Safeguarding Youth Training" section immediately above and take the course at my.scouting.org.  If you don’t, we can’t accept the Adult Application.  
3. To apply to be a leader click this link.   
4. It will ask whether you're registering for yourself (as an adult volunteer) or for your child, so since you're reading about how to be an Adult Volunteer, click "Start" under "Adult".
5. That takes you to a series of pages for Basic and Background Information (Scouting America runs background checks), so follow the prompts, enter the information, and checkout and pay for your Scouting America Registration Fee through the remainder of this Calendar Year.
6. Email chair@atlanta631.mytroop.us and advise whether you want to be a Troop Committee Member or an Assistant Scoutmaster. 

There is no "dues" cost to being a Leader who is actually and meaningfully engaged in one or more Troop functions  (as listed in our "Help Wanted" page and this Menu of Leader and Hepler Roles); Leader fees for those are covered in the Troop Dues, so contact the Treasurer at treasurer@atlanta631.mytroop.us for a reimbursement.     

• If you "used to be registered" but dropped (for example, for adults, for failure to keep Safeguarding Youth Training up to date, or you were in the Pack but didn't register with the Troop) ... yeah, you've got to start over with a new Adult Application and current Safeguarding Youth Training evidence (which might transfer if you have your "last year" Scouting America Member ID Number).
• If you really want to submit a paper application, don't.  Call the Troop Committee Chair, and we'll discuss.  

For those who want to be Merit Badge Counselors, follow these steps:

• If you are not currently a Troop 631 Adult Leader, including as a Committee Member or Assistant Scoutmaster, scroll back up to the section right above called "Adult Application to be a Troop Leader (including ASM and Committee)", and follow those steps to be a Troop 631 Adult Leader.
• If that is a problem, call the Troop Committee Chair, and we'll discuss.  
• But because you'll be reimbursed for the cost of applying and you have to take Safeguarding Youth Training either way, there's not a good reason not to also be on the Committee.

• Once you are currently a Troop 631 Adult Leader with current (within two years) Safeguarding Youth Training, please see scoutingatl.org/FindMBC for a new portal for registration. 
• But ... be a Troop 631 Registered Leader first.  It will be easier and best for you.
• More in "Registration as a Merit Badge Counselor 2023.docx".

• If you're already a Merit Badge Counselor now and you are just adding new Merit Badges, see scoutingatl.org/FindMBC for a new portal for updating your Merit Badges.   

• More information about being a Counselor is in this Blog Post and in the Application itself, plus in the Scouting America "Learn Center" access through my.scouting.org you can find a 34 minute Merit Badge Counseling Course (select "catalog", then "programs", then "Scouts BSA", and find "Merit Badge Counselor Position Specific Training").  A list of Merit Badges can be found on this list of Merit Badge Worksheets, which gives you a good idea of the knowledge required to serve. 

• More on Merit Badge Counseling is here -- Merit Badges are not Cub Scout Belt Loops or Activity Pins!  

• If you really want to be a Merit Badge Counselor but not be an Adult Leader of Troop 631, you may follow the instructions found at www.atlantabsa.org/mbcounselor, which will probably include sending your paper to a District Advancement Chair.  The Troop Committee Chair or Advancement Team can help identify that person.
