Where Do
I Start?
It begins with
the existing Fast Start training, continues through New Leader
Essentials, and is followed by Leader Specific training for each
adult's role in the unit.
Here is a brief
overview of the components of the training
continuum.
Fast Start Training
Fast Start training is the first step for any new volunteer and is
to be delivered immediately after a new leader registers and before
he or she meets with any youth member.
Basic Leader Training
The new Basic Leader Training comprises two parts: New Leader
Essentials for all unit-level leaders and Leader Specific training,
which is based on the leader's unit-level position.
Leader-Specific Training
These training courses include leader specific training for Cub
Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing leaders; an introduction to outdoor
leader skills; and the new Wood Badge course.
