I thought I already was a Scout?
In 2024 we re-launched HMS Florida and updated the training materials with more information to help Scouts learn to monitor sites. The website you're on now is only used to access the HMS Florida Monitoring Database. To remain an active Scout, you'll need to complete the new training using the new HMS Florida Scout Portal before you can monitor sites with the program, regardless of past Scout history.
