Welcome to Scouting! As a new Scout leader, you are joining our Scouting family, and we want you to understand how the program works. The Fast Start Orientation video and guide will help explain it. These materials present a quick introduction to get you, a new Venturing leader, ready for your first meeting.

Ideally you should take your Fast Start training immediately after you register, before your first troop meeting. It will provide you with an immediate comfort level. After taking the Fast Start training, you will say "I can do this!"

Fast Start training is available in the following ways:

• On-line
• On video cassettes or DVD

On-Line Training

• Take Venturing Fast Start Training online
