Leader Training
Any unit commissioner can tell you - most problems in a pack, troop, crew, or post are a result of untrained adult volunteers. To help solve this problem the Anthony Wayne Area Council tries to make adult training sessions available as often and in as many locations as possible.Everyone involved in the scouting program should attend training - it's not just for the top unit leaders. Committee members, Charter Representatives, Assistant Scoutmasters, and even parents are encouraged to attend. All training is offered free of charge! Woodbadge is the only exception.
Remember the most successful units are those with the most trained leaders!!
Boy Scout Volunteer Training:
Step One: Watch the Fast Start training video available from your troop or the council service center.
Step Two: Participate in New Leader Essentials & Leader Specific Training (Leader Basic Training). This is an all day session or two-part session which provides details on operating an effective unit.
Step Three: Attend Advanced Outdoor Camping Skills Training, an overnight campout designed to teach leaders to become great outdoorsmen.
Beyond Basic: Complete Youth Protection training, attend district roundtables and WoodBadge.
All adult leaders should be trained! If you have time to spare on any of these dates please take advantage of them!!
