  Training shows new leaders how to do their jobs and allows for an interchange of ideas with more experienced leaders.  Scouts deserve qualified, trained leaders who will provide the best program possible, the way it was intended.  Trained leaders ensure that the goals of Scouting are met.

Scout leaders need training to

  • help them understand the aims and purposes of Scouting,

  • improve their ability to work with boys and other leaders,

  • learn Scouting skills,
