Training Programs
|
You are invited to follow the pathway of adult leader development that Baden-Powell began in 1918. The quality of the Scouting program that we bring to the boys is dependent upon the quality and capability of the unit's adult leaders. 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 specifies about their particular roles in Scouting.
Why should I take training?
The BSA training courses are designed to help any adult get a better idea of the responsibilities of their leadership position. They also help the leader to prepare for the meetings that they will hold with the boys. An adult that takes the time to complete the appropriate training will be better equipped to deliver the kind of program that keeps the boys excited! But, many new leaders get confused when it comes to the available training and deciding which training courses to take and in what order. To achieve our aims in the Gulf Ridge Council, we will offer training at different times in each District. If you cannot attend training in your local community, please feel free to attend training in another District. Many different Training Courses are available through the Boy Scouts of America, designed to meet your needs and the needs of your youth. You can view upcoming training events in the Gulf Ridge Council here, or you can go to the Calendar page and select Training from the Category drop down box. You may also contact the District Training Chairs for additional information. What does it take to be considered "Trained"? Requirements are different for each position. Training Awards are available for each position that you receive training in and and in which you complete tenure and activity requirements. More Leader Resources
