EVERY SCOUT DESERVES - A TRAINED LEADER
Welcome to the
Baden-Powell Training Program! This
catalog describes training opportunities for everyone in Scouting: registered
adult leaders, committee members, interested parents, and YOUTH. We are proud
of our Baden-Powell Council Training Team.
Most of our team members have taken Trainer Development Conference (look
for their purple nametags) and have experience working with adults and
youth.
If you're new to
scouting, we can give you the tools you'll need to be successful. If you're an experienced leader, training can
refresh your program and bring you up to date on current BSA policy and changes
in programs. Whatever the reason, we
know that "Trained" leaders help Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers have a safe, fun, and quality program!
Yours in Scouting,
Training Leaders for the 21st Century
