Every Youth Deserves a Trained Leader

Baden-Powell, our founder, called Scouting a "game with a purpose." Kids are attracted by the "game" portions--outdoor activities and just plain fun. But our ultimate purpose is to help youth grow in citizenship, character, and mental, moral and physical fitness. Our effectiveness as adult leaders depends on how well we understand the aims and methods of the program.

Training will help you accomplish these goals, plus provide you with resources, ideas and fellowship. Here are the specifics of what we will be offering:
