Scoutmaster Specific course provides Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters with the basic information and tools they need to lead successful Scouts BSA Troops (although, when done right, your youth will lead the troop and you’ll supervise and mentor).
This course is being offered to all Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Committee Members, Commissioners, 2nd Year Webelos Leaders, and all registered adult Scouters.
For Venture Crew Leaders
The Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills will provide an introduction to the basic skills of camping and the outdoors. Venture Crew leaders without a background in the outdoors can benefit from learning from experienced Scouters.
Scoutmaster Position-Specific training is available online at My.Scouting.org, so you can complete it in 10-minute modules during free time. However, taking the course in person; provides the advantage of being able to ask questions of and get feedback from experienced Scouters who has been in your shoes before. You will learn more and it is a lot more fun.
The Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills is only available in person. Lets go camping!
