Adult Leader Training
Friday, January 15, 2010
A great part in ensuring our scouts have a rewarding experience is the development of our adult leaders. As adult leaders we are also expected to continue to grow through the required and additional courses offered through by the Boy Scouts.
Many of the courses are available online and some are scheduled over the course of the year through Northern Star Council or the Chief Black Dog District. Even though you might have taken some of these courses while with the Cub Scouts please go ahead and update them as soon as possible. All adult Troop Committee members and Leaders are required to complete the Youth Protection online course (about 30 minutes).
Upon completion of a course, please make a copy of the certificate and give to Keith Elinson for tracking.
The following are the required trainings for all adult leaders:- This is Scouting (online)
- Youth Protection (online)
- Leader Specific Training/Ass’t Scoutmaster
- Introduction to Outdoor Leadership
