Every boy deserves a trained leader!

What Makes a "Trained" Leader?
Scoutmasters and assistant Scoutmasters are considered trained when they have completed Fast Start Training, New Leader Essentials, Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills.

  • Fast Start Training Online

  • New Leader Essentials- This course is an introductory session that presents an overview of key components of the overall Scouting program. Its goal is to help leaders from all program areas understand that they are all striving for the same results with the youth they serve. Each leader completes New Leader Essentials only once. See the current SHAC schedule for class availability.

  • Leader Specific Training provides the specialized knowledge a new leader needs to assume a leadership role in the position for which he or she is registered. Because each course is designed for a specific leadership position, the training time varies from course to course. See the current SHAC schedule for class availability.

  • Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills This is a third component of basic leader training for Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmasters, and Varsity coaches. This weekend camping course emphasizes the skills required for First Class rank and helps you plan and conduct an outdoor camping experience with your unit. See the current SHAC schedule for class availability.

Is your YPT and/or First Aid/CPR up to date? YPT expires after 2 years and First Aid Basics expires after 3 years. Adult CPR is only good for one year. Check your training records or contact Sam Sukkar and make sure you are current.
