What are the Steps to Getting Trained?

Step 1: FAST START

Fast Start is the first step for any new volunteer and is to be delivered immediately after a new leader registers and before he or she meet with any youth member. It’s purpose is to acquaint new families, new leaders, and others with the program of the BSA and give specific information about program phase involved. It’s a video training to aid new leaders and motivate them to attend Basic Leader Training.

Step 2: NEW LEADER ESSENTIALS

It is a 90-minute group training session, which is an overview of the core elements of Scouting. It also provides new leaders with a look at the BSA resources available, and a clear understanding of Scouting’s expectations of its adult leaders. WHO MUST ATTEND? - All new adult leaders of Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers. This course is a pre-requisite for all Basic Leader Specific training.

NOTE: "The Boy Scout of America general offices has instructed that all leaders must participate in the "New Leader Essentials" training prior to the end of 2002. In order for an adult to register as a leader in 2003, he/she must have participated in this training." - Reprint from Frontier District Rifleshot, February 13, 2002

Step 3: BASIC LEADER SPECIFIC TRAINING

This training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume a leadership role. Each course is designed for a specific leadership position.

Step 4: INTRODUCTION TO OUTDOOR LEADER SKILLS
