Course Descriptions
General Education Classes – Required Training Courses
This is required training for all new leaders (Cub Scout and Boy Scout). It will provide you with the foundation of the Boy Scouts of America program.
This course will enable Scout Leaders and parents to recognize indicators of abuse, when they see/hear them. This is AHC required training.
The purpose of the Guide to Safe Scouting is to prepare adult leaders to conduct Scouting activities in a safe and prudent manner. The policies and guidelines have been established because of the real need to protect members from known hazards that have been identified through ninety-plus years of experience. Limitations on certain activities should not be viewed as stumbling blocks; rather, policies and guidelines are best described as stepping-stones toward safe and enjoyable adventures.
This is a guided review and in-depth discussion of the on-line training documentation for both of these on-line tools. In addition to covering the manual input methods provided in the on-line training documents, you will be taught how to upload a Scoutnet-compatible advancement file from one of the popular Scouting programs, such as Troopmaster or Packmaster.
