District Leadership Training
If we want Scouting to do well, we need trained leaders. Every boy deserves a trained leader.
The district training committee is chaired by Mike Geiser. It oversees the following:
1. Determines who needs training
2. Builds an annual training plan
3. Develops plans for specific courses
4. Promotes courses
5. Provides training recognition
6. Evaluates training
What do you need in order to be "trained"?
Each adult leader should first take Youth Protection training and Fast Start, which is available online. Then, they should take This is Scouting Training. After these two training programs, there are "leader-specific" trainings required:
Cub Scout Leaders. (1) Youth Protection & This is Scouting Training, (2) Cub Scout Leader Specific Training
Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters. (1) Youth Protection & This is Scouting Training, (2) Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training, (3) Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills
Varsity Scout Leaders. (1) Youth Protection & This is Scouting Training, (2) Varsity Scout Leader Specific Training, (3) Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills
Committee Members. (1) Youth Protection & This is Scouting Training, (2) Troop Committee Challenge
Venturing Crew Advisors, Asst Advisors, and Crew Committee members. (1) Youth Protection & This is Scouting Training, (2) Venturing Leader Specific Training
District Supplemental Training
After receiving your basic training, there are excellent opportunities to further your training. Some of these supplemental trainings are required to hold certain activities with your scout unit (e.g. Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat are required for a boating activity.) See the training schedule (link is in the right column) for more information.
Council Supplemental Training
Additional supplemental training is available from the council, the pinnacle of which is called Woodbadge.
