The new Basic Leader Training comprises two parts: This is Scouting for all unit-level leaders and Leader Specific Training, which is based on the leader's unit-level position. Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters and Varsity Scout Leaders must also complete Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills before they are considered trained for their position.
Basic Leader Training is designed for maximum flexibility. The sessions can be delivered over time - training on one or more evenings a week or month or in a one-day training event that incorporates all program areas. It is suitable for large or small groups and may be presented to leaders of one or more units at a time. The focus is to remove roadblocks and achieve 100 percent trained leaders.
This Is Scouting
This is Scouting is an introductory session that highlights the values, aims, history, funding, and methods of Scouting. It addresses how these aims and methods are reached in an age-appropriate style within Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting and Venturing. This is Scouting is only available online through myscouting.org. Each leader completes This is Scouting training only once.
Benefits of This is Scouting:
Assistance in implementing the full Scouting program with chartered organizations.
A better understanding of the advantages of encouraging youth and adult volunteers to move through the traditional program as their youth mature.
An awareness of the different aspects of the Scouting program, which may result in leaders taking advantage of those programs for a child in a different age group.
