Leadership Training

One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership. Leadership training provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and methods of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles in Scouting.

For this reason, the Green Mountain Council is committed to provide top quality training opportunities for leaders, parents and Scouts at the district and council levels. Through these efforts, the delivery of a better and quality Scouting program can be provided to our entire youth membership.

1. TIGER DEN LEADER TRAINING - the challenge has been put out there for all districts to have all new Tiger Den Leaders trained by October. Please remember to submit your training rosters to Council so these leaders get credit for the training

2. POW WOW update - Pack Trainer Specific training will be offered at POW WOW. Once leaders complete this training they can conduct leader specific training for their Packs. What a great opportunity to ensure that all your leaders training is current! Please pre-register - 20 seats available. This will be a 2-hour course. Training syllabus for Pack training will be available for purchase at the class. The current cost is $9 (subject to change). Maybe your Pack should purchase a syllabus for you.

3. REMINDER - the deadline to submit your personal training records to be updated is fast approaching. Follow the links in the article on the home page of the Council website to download the needed forms and get directions for submitting your records.
