  11. Troop/Pack Training Needs • All diocesan forms for new unit adults must be completed, submitted, and cleared by the diocese prior to participation in unit activities • Upon clearance by the diocese, new unit adults have a “grace period” of 90 days to complete their Virtus training and may participate in unit events pending completion of training • If Virtus is not completed within 90 days of having forms cleared by the diocese, the adult may not participate until Virtus is completed.
