With the launch of Scouting U’s eLearning content for Scout leaders, Scouters now can get trained on their own schedule — anywhere, any time.
The courses are conveniently organized by role — Scoutmaster, assistant Scoutmaster, Varsity coach, assistant Varsity coach, leader of 11-year-old Scouts, troop/team committee chairman, troop/team committee member and merit badge counselor — meaning you’ll know exactly which training courses you need to be “Trained.”
Modules range from five to 15 minutes in length. They’re designed to be completed at your own pace — all at once or one at a time.
The modules are grouped into three learning plans:
- Complete before the first meeting
- Complete within the first 30 days in your volunteer role
- Complete to become “position trained”
The modules stay put once you’re done, so you can return to review any section at any time.
