Scouting Essentials is a 90-minute, FREE introduction to Scouting leadership, taught every few months. Keep an eye on the Calendar for future course dates and don't forget to attend the monthly roundtable in your district for more information.
Leader Specific Training for your Scout Program Level gets you into the details of advancement, age-appropriate activities, and more for your Scouting level.
