New Leader Essentials
|
|
New Leader Essentials is the initial training for
adult leaders serving youth in the Boy Scouts of America.
Through a series of lively presentations, the 90-minute training
presents an overview of the core elements of Scouting, including
the organization's mission, aims, and methods. It also
provides new leaders with a look at the resources available to
them through the Boy Scouts of America and a clear understanding
of Scouting's expectations of its adult leadership.
Who attends New Leader Essentials? All new
adult leaders of Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Boy
Scouts, Varsity Scouts, or Venturers should attend. In
addition, we recommend it for new members of district committees
and council executive boards.
Upon completion of New Leader Essentials,
volunteer leaders take part in leader-specific training to prepare
them for the opportunities and responsibilities relating to their
leadership positions with the Cub Scout program, the Boy Scout
program, or the Venturing program. Leader-specific training
is also an opportunity for new leaders to get answers to questions
they may have about their roles and about the BSA in general.
In the months and years to come, adult leaders will discover a
wealth of other BSA training opportunities to hone their
leadership skills. A Scout leader needs to attend New Leader
Essentials only once.
