EVERY BOY DESERVES A TRAINED LEADER, AND EVERY LEADER DESERVES TO BE TRAINED
Trained Cub, Scout & Venturing leaders provide a quality, fun-filled program for boys. When leaders understand the whys and hows of Scouting, they are more effective in their roles. Trained leaders know how to use the available resources to provide an exciting and worthwhile program for the boys. Trained leaders also have confidence in carrying out their roles and responsibilities. As a result, Scouts receive a program designed to achieve Scouting's aims of citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness.
In addition, a pack, troop, team or crew whose leadership has completed training is also on their way to earning the Quality Unit award. Units recognized with the Quality Unit award demonstrate an accomplishment of providing a quality program to their youth. Outdoor experiences, advancement opportunities and fun are the reasons youth join the Scouting program. Trained leaders have the knowledge base and the background to insure the best program is provided.
The Southern Sierra Council believes all leaders should take advantage of training and that each leader should be dedicated to the commitment of providing the best possible program to their members.
- The Southern Sierra Council offers several training classes for Scouts and Scouters to improve their leadership and outdoor skills. Adult leaders can earn several training awards and recognitions by taking some of these classes. Please check the Adult Awards section where you can view requirements and download progress records for these recognitions.
- In addition, the High Adventure Team (HAT) offers courses in Outdoor Leader Awareness, Basic Backpacking, Winter Camping, and Cycling Awareness.
- And of course, there is Wood Badge - the ultimate Scouter training experience.
Presented below is a list of our training classes to help make you and your scouts better leaders.
