Adult Training

Scouts BSA recruits adult volunteers to lead youth as they develop into adulthood and training is a very important part of the program. There are many training classes and online sessions available. Safety is a priority in Scouts BSA. This includes everything from Youth Protection to Hazardous Weather Training.

It is important that all adults working with the boys be informed on policies of the BSA and to fully understand the program. For complete information see: https://www.scouting.org/training/adult/
