Northeast District Training

2008 TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR VENTURING CREWS:

The Venturing Program at Crossroads of America Council will be offering a Venturing Leadership Skills Course (VLSC) in September.  As we prepare and grow Venturing within CAC, the Venturing team believes that this will provide our youth an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and abilities. 

When:  Friday & Saturday, September 5th & 6th

Where:  Camp Kikthawenund, Frankton, IN

Crew members and advisors who might be willing to serve on the steering committee to assure that this is a great training event should contact Bill Allbee, Course Director (317-363-0307).

Training for volunteers helps ensure successful programs. All leaders should be trained to meet Quality Unit objectives as well as to help all adult leaders feel comfortable in their particular role. Units and leaders can access general and leader specific training in several ways.

1.  Visit the Council's Training webpage (above) for resources offered in other Districts as well as for a complete description of training requirements and opportunities.  The BSA National and the Crossroads of America websites offer several on-line training courses that can be taken in the privacy of your home.  Print the certificate at the end of each course to give to your unit training coordinator and district training chair.

2.  Host training programs in your unit - work through your Unit Trainer or contact the District Training Chair.

3.  Meet training requirements through participation in Crossroads of America Council's annual  University of Scouting at Warren Central High School in January.

4. Be sure to check out the Council's "Wall of Information" just to the right of the Scout Shop entrance for Council and District training and learning opportunities as well as other Council-wide events and information.
