You ’ ve heard , probably many times , the saying : “ every Scout deserves a trained leader .” But what about the leaders ? What do they deserve ?
The same thing ! Leaders deserve to be trained in the proper methods of Scouting with all the tools that are available . Leaders will feel more confident in their role and , naturally , be more successful .
That ’ s why your Council Training committee is offering on-demand training . We will come to you and train your leaders when and where you need it . All we ask is enough time to plan and a commitment to getting 100 % of your leaders fully trained .
If you ’ ve already attended training in the past , please consider attending again . Scouting is evolving . Sometimes rapidly . Our youth are changing . All the time too quickly . BSA updates their training to stay abreast of internal and external changes .
If you enjoy giving back and sharing your knowledge with others , consider becoming and instructor .
