Basic Leader Training

A fair amount of training can be completed on-line at myscouting.org. Classes include: the two age-appropriate Youth Protection sessions, all Cub Scout courses and Troop Committee Challenge. You will be asked to create an account (there is a video demonstration to walk you through the process). If you have your membership identification number (on your membership card or call the service center) your training will be recorded automatically.
 
Cub Scout leaders may take the Leader Specific Training for their unit-level position on-line. Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters and Varsity Scout Leaders must complete the Leader Specific Training for their unit-level position and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills before they are considered trained for their position. Both courses are presented in-person.

For further information, please contact the Training Chair for your District.
