Adult Optional Training

Expand Your Knowledge

We want to equip our adult volunteers with the tools and resources necessary to help you grow personally and improve your performance as a Scout leader. Training is one of the best ways to accomplish all of these things. Not to mention, the more you know the better chance you’ll have fun!

Some of the courses in this section are meant to be self-paced, theoretical, and very prerequisite in nature. Others are very physically active, spanning a weekend or even multiple weekends. All of them share this common trait: they’re optional. You choose to complete these because you want to learn something new that unlocks a new skill, makes it possible for your Scouts to do a new activity, or maybe even benefits you in your life outside of Scouting.

We encourage you to explore all of these and consider not what you have to do… but what do you want to do?
