 New
Leader Essentials is an introductory session used to
highlight the values, aims, history, funding, and methods
of Scouting. The training addresses how these aims and
methods are reached in an age appropriate style within
Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, Venturing
and Sea Scouting.
Videos, discussions, and hands-on reinforcement are
presented during the 90-minute training session. Ideally,
all unit-based volunteers--Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity
Scout, Sea Scouting and Venturing leaders--take this
session at the same time, so each leader can understand
the team concept in that we are all striving for the
same results with the youth they serve. Each leader completes
New Leader Essentials training only once.
Benefits of New Leader Essentials
- Assistance in implementing the full Scouting program
with chartered organizations.
- A better understanding of the advantages of encouraging
youth and adult volunteers to move through the traditional
program as their youth mature.
- An awareness of the different aspects of the Scouting
program, which may result in leaders taking advantage
of those programs for a child in a different age group.
