Adult Leader Training The leadership training philosophy of the Boy Scouts of America is to provide adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and purposes of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles in Scouting. A trained leader is knowledgeable and confident in the role being performed. The knowledge and confidence of a trained leader are quickly sensed by Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, or Venturers and are a positive influence on their lives.

How To Get Trained All required training courses are offered on a regular basis through the local district's training committee. Look at the district training schedule to determine when each course is offered.
Alternatively training courses can be offered on special request. In general a minimum of ten students must register and prepay before a course can be offered. Contact the Training Committee Chairman for further information. Training Knots Boy Scout training knots are awarded to Scouters who have completed required training for their position and have achieved a high standard of performance. |
