What Is A Trained
Leader
What
Makes a Trained Leader
A direct contact Scout leader is considered
fully trained and entitled to wear the Trained leader
emblem when he or she has completed the following
training courses and the specific training for the
position.
Fast
Start Training
Fast Start training is the first step for all new
leaders and should be taken immediately after they
register and before they meet with any youth members.
New leaders choose the Fast Start they need to take:
Cub Scout Leader, Boy Scout Leader, Varsity Scout
Leader, or Venturing Crew Leader. All Fast Start courses
are available on DVD, or they can be completed through
the Online
Learning Center. (If you are new to Scouting,
you will be asked to create an account.)
Youth
Protection Training
Youth Protection training is required for all leaders
who have direct contact with youth. At all times,
youth safety is the number one priority. At the same
time, adults need to know the rules for keeping themselves
safe, too. Comprehensive Youth Protection training
teaches all the do’s and don’ts of working
with youth. The training is offered through the Online
Learning Center, or it may be taken as part of
an district or council training course.
This
is Scouting
This Is Scouting is a new online training session
that replaces New Leader Essentials. It picks up when
Fast Start leaves off with six modules of training:
The Mission of Scouting, Programs for All ages, Scouting
Is Fun, Scouting in the Community, Keeping Our Youth
Safe, and Scouting’s Legacy. The training takes
about an hour to complete and can be found on Online
Learning Center. (If you are new to Scouting,
you will be asked to create an account.)
Position Specific Training
Leader position specific training is based on the
leader’s position. These courses are taught
by informed trainers who know how to engage groups
and make learning fun. These courses are offered by
the district or council as group training, or may
be done as small groups or by personal coaching.
