Training

Training is the Key to Quality
One of the best gifts an adult volunteer can give the youth with whom he or she works is to be trained.  Old Baldy Council provides a convenient and seamless training curriculum that spans the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs and is focused to meet individual leader's needs, whatever your tenure or position might be.  Our training objective is 100% trained leaders.

The Training Plan
Leader development is a process that continues as long as an individual is involved in the Scouting program.  Whether you volunteer in a unit or provide support in the district or council, our kids receive the best only when you're up to date and fully trained.  Learn about the total training plan.

How Long Will Basic Training Sessions Last?
