Youth Protection Training

All youth and adults in a Unit should receive the appropriate Youth Protection Training. Each Unit should have a Youth Protection Coordinator responsible for this.

 

Basic Leader Training

New Leader Essentials is the initial training for adult leaders serving youth in the Boy Scouts of America. Through a series of lively presentations, the training presents an overview of the core elements of Scouting, including the organization's mission, aims and methods. It also provides NEW LEADERS with a look at the resources available to them through the Boy Scouts of America and a clear understanding of Scouting's expectations of its adult leadership.

Upon completion of New Leaders Essentials, volunteer leaders take part in leader-specific training to prepare them for the opportunities and responsibilities relating to their leadership positions with the Cub Scout program, the Boy Scout program, or the Venturing program. Leader Specific Training is also an opportunity for new leaders to get answers to questions they may have about thier roles and about the BSA in general.

In the months and years to come, adult leaders will discover a wealth of other BSA training opportunities to help their leadership skills. A Cub scout Leader needs to attend New Leader Essentials only once.
