New Leader Training
The
Basic Leader Training program is the culmination of more than two years
of work by professionals and volunteers from throughout the nation. Their goal
was to revise and update the volunteer leader training materials for the Boy
Scouts of America. The result is a seamless training program that helps leaders
easily graduate through the courses quickly and with little duplication.
TROOP COMMITTEE CHALLENGE
Troop committee challenge, the training course for
troop committee members, is now a fun, interactive, and challenging
online experience. To start your training, visit the BSA Online
Learning Center at
http://olc.scouting.org. The Challenge will take about an hour
to complete, and it can be taken individually or with a small group.
Upon completion of the Troop Committee Challenge, a
Scouter can print out a certificate of completion. This training
will be recorded on the Scouter’s training record.
YOUTH AND ADULT TRAINING AT PHILMONT
There are a number of
conferences held at the Philmont Training Center each year on a
wide variety of subjects. If you are interested in being
invited, please check out the
website
and let Carleton Star know you want to be invited!
In 2008 the NAYLE youth leadership course will be offered 8
times between the weeks of June 15 and August 3. The course has
been acclaimed by youth who have completed NYLT (Council
Leadership Training) as being life-changing. Michael Bledsoe of
our Council attended two years ago and was on staff last year.
The course is the highest level of leadership training for youth
in the BSA Program. The Program is based
at the Rocky Mountain Scout Camp and requires a Philmont Level A
Medical Form.
Also in 2008, the Philmont Leadership Challenge Course will
offer its pilot session the week of September 21. This adult
program is open to those who have completed or staffed 21st
Century Wood Badge. It was created based upon the demand from
Scouters whose youth attended NAYLE and wanted a similar
experience. It will be the highest level of leadership training
offered to adults in the BSA Program and is an experiential
course built upon Wood Badge skills. The Program is based at the
Rocky Mountain Scout Camp and requires a Philmont Level A
Medical Form.
