LEADER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
One
of the key elements that sets Scouting apart from other youth organizations
is the emphasis and insistence that every leader be trained in their
position. Training is available at all levels and offered several
times throughout the year. Our Scouts deserve trained leaders. Refer
to the available Training below:
Roundtable &
Afterguard (Monthly Supplemental Training)
These are monthly informational meetings for all
leaders. The program at these meetings centers on the next monthly
theme to be presented at your unit. Helpful hints, activity ideas, ceremonies,
games and other useful information are presented. Leaders who attend
roundtable meetings are making use of a great resource to help them do
their job. Cub Scout and Boy Scout roundtables are held at 7:30 p.m.
on the second Thursday of each month at Will J. Reid Scout Camp. The
Sea Scout Afterguard is held the first Thursday of the month at the
Aquatics Sea Base. Great fellowship with other Scouters happens at
the same time.
