Boy Scout Leader Training starts with Fast Start training. Take Fast Start on-line or check out the videotapes from your unit leader or the council library.
As a member of your troop committee, completing New Leader Essentials and Troop Committee Challenge qualifies you as a Trained Boy Scout Leader, and makes you eligible to wear the Trained patch for your position.
New Leader Essentials is an introductory session that highlights the values, aims, history, funding and methods of Scouting. It addresses how these aims and methods are reached at an age-appropriate style within Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting Varsity Scouting and Venturing. Videos, discussions, and hands-on reinforcement are presented during the 90-minute training session. Ideally, all unit-based volunteers - Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout and Venturing leaders - take this session at the same time, so they understand that they are all striving for the same results with the youth they serve. Each leader completes New Leader Essentials training only once.
Troop Committee Challenge training for Boy Scout troop committees has been developed to help troop committee members better understand their roles and responsibilities. Through hands-on experiential learning, this training will also enable troop committee members to better deliver the promise in support of the troop, Scoutmaster and Scouts.
This training is best when delivered to all of the troop committee at once. It should also include the Scoutmaster and, if possible, assistant Scoutmasters.
