Youth Protection

All registered leaders must complete Youth Protection training every two years. We highly recommend doing so even more frequently. All adults involved in scouting are also encouraged to take the training. The safety of our youth is our top priority.

University of Scouting

University of Scouting (UoS) is the premier training council event of the year. It is designed to help your Pack, Troop, Team, Crew, or Ship bring success back to your unit by taking supplemental and specific training classes. There are also classes for youth leaders and commissioners. We encourage your leadership team to attend UoS together.
