Adult Scout Training

All Scouts deserve a trained leader. Get started today.

We would like all parents to complete Youth Protection Training and FAST Start training in their first year in scouts. But, we encourage any parent to complete additional training too. Below are the different training opportunities scouting offers. Some of them can be done at home on the Internet. Most of them will require attending a part or full day training class. As we learn about upcoming classes we will post them on the Pack's calender on this blogsite as well as Pack meetings and home mailings.
