Every Scout Deserves a Trained Leader

Our district has a goal of all unit and district leaders to be 100% trained as possible. Please log into your my.scouting.org account to check on your training status. Visit the Scouting Training Catalog to register for Learning Plans, take your courses for credit, and keep track of your progress.

Remember S.A.F.E. Guarding Youth (formerly Youth Protection Training) is required every two years for ALL Scout leaders. Your registration is not valid without current training. Also, Weather Hazards Training is required every two years to protect youth from outdoor dangers on your unit adventures.
