Leader Specific Training

Leader Position Specific Training is designed to provide training specific to each area of the Scouting program. These courses are taught by informed trainers who know how to engage groups and make learning fun. These courses are offered by the Council Training Committee online or in person, or may be done as small groups or by personal coaching. Prior to taking this training, leaders should complete Youth Protection Training.
