Training Resources

Trained Scout leaders deliver a high-quality, engaging program for youth by understanding the “whys” and “hows” of Scouting. This knowledge enables leaders to effectively utilize resources, enhancing the program’s impact and ensuring it meets Scouting’s goals of citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Additionally, trained leaders are more confident in fulfilling their roles and responsibilities.

The Basic Leader Training program is designed for efficiency, allowing leaders to progress quickly and with minimal redundancy. It starts with mandatory Youth Protection Training, available online, and then follows a tailored pathway that addresses the specific needs and roles of each leader.
