BOY SCOUT LEADER SPECIFIC TRAINING

 

Leader Specific Training
Once a volunteer has a basic understanding of the BSA's values-based program, he or she should begin training for their specific Scouting position by taking Leader Specific Training. This training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume their leadership role.
Boy Scout Position Specific Training:
For Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters, this training is divided into four parts. The first three parts concentrate on troop operation and can be completed in one day or three evenings. The fourth part, Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills, which focuses on outdoor skills, lasts approximately a day and a half, depending on the skill level of the new leader.

For troop committee members, Leader Specific training includes the Troop Committee Challenge. By following the Troop Committee Training Syllabus, participants can complete the challenge in three hours, after which they are considered trained.
