Training Overview


"Every Youth Deserves a Trained Leader"

The Boy Scouts of America has assembled a complete training curriculum to meet the needs of today's leaders. The training sequence for a new leader includes

  1. Fast Start Training
  2. Youth Protection Training
  3. New Leader Essentials
  4. Venturing Leader Specific Training
  5. Sea Scout Adult Leader Basic Training 
  6. Seabadge
    7.  

Our youth deserve nothing but the best for their leaders, and leaders owe it to the youth to be able to deliver a quality program. After completing this sequence there are a number of on-going training programs that educate leaders on advanced leadership techniques and more.

Materials, from quick references to complete courses, all designed to help our members improve leadership skills and deliver a quality program are available at the National Scouting website. Many of the courses can be taken online via the MyScouting site. A login is required, but anyone may create a user account and view the courses. Registered members of the BSA may provide their member numbers (as part of the user profile) to receive credit.

Training Updates from National can be found on The Training Times newsletter page.

Youth Training

Venturing youth have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of crew operation and leadership in the Venturing Leadership Skills Course, and to learn Youth Protection in addition to a number of other opportunities. Sea Scouting youth also have additional leadership training opportunities, Sea Scout Advanced Leadership (SEAL), and Top Gun. Through these trainings and others, youth are equipped with a "tool box" of leadership tools to help them better "...help strengthen America, to help others, and to seek truth, fairness, and adventure in our world."
