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. 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.
Boy Scout Leaders
Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training is for all
Scoutmasters and their assistants. Boy Scout leaders also must complete
Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills training to be considered fully trained.
