Adult leader training is vital to the success of Scouting programs and insures that a fun, safe and fulfilling experience is provided to each Scout. Some courses may be completed online through my.scouting.org. All other courses are provided by the council and each district on a regular basis.
Beyond required training, we encourage adult leaders to take supplemental training such as University of Scouting or Wood Badge, as well as a variety of our other training courses throughout the year.
Direct Contact Leaders
Crossroads of America Council has adopted a policy of requiring all Direct Contact Leaders to be trained for their respective leadership positions. The council is committed to providing the highest quality program possible to the youth it serves. Having trained adult leaders is critical to fulfilling that commitment. Every youth deserves a trained leader.
Starting January 1, 2019
Cub Scout leaders who assume Direct Contact positions must complete position specific training within 90 days of registering or if registering after September 30, must complete position specific training by December 31 of that year.
