and Assistant Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training, and Introduction to Outdoor
Leader Skills.

Challenge. By following the Troop Committee Training Syllabus, participants

Venturing Leader Specific Training
Developed for Venturing Advisors, assistant Advisors, and crew committee members,
this training incorporates Venturing's current adult leader training. New Leader
Essentials and Venturing Leader Specific Training can be completed in one day, after
which the leader is considered to be trained.
Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills
Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills, No. 33640
|
Outdoor skills are critical to the success of the Scouting program, and Introduction
to Outdoor Leader Skills will provide leaders with the basic outdoor skills information
needed to start a program right.
Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills is the required outdoor training for all
Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmasters, and Varsity Scout coaches. The skills taught
are based on the outdoor skills found in The Boy Scout Handbook. The course
is also ideal for Venturing leaders because it focuses on skills that build
confidence and competence in leaders conducting outdoor camping experiences.
The course is a day and a half long, but a leader can move at an accelerated pace
by demonstrating mastery of a specific skill. The emphasis is on the skill, rather
than on attending the course.
Wood Badge for the 21st Century
Wood Badge has evolved into the core leadership skills training course for the BSA.
The new Wood Badge course focuses on strengthening every volunteer's ability to work
with and lead groups of youth and adults and is less focused on outdoor skills, which
are more effectively addressed in other courses.
