Fast Start Training
Fast Start training is the first step for any new volunteer and is to be delivered immediately after a new leader registers and before he or she meets with any youth member.
Basic Leader Training
The new Basic Leader Training comprises two parts: This Is Scouting for all unit-level leaders and Leader Specific training, which is based on the leader's unit-level position.
Leader Specific Training
These training courses include leader specific training for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing leaders; an introduction to outdoor leader skills; and the new Wood Badge course.
