considered trained upon completion of This Is Scouting, Scoutmaster and
Assistant Scoutmaster Leader Specific Training, and Introduction to
Outdoor Leader Skills.

Venturing Leader Specific Training, No. 33491C |
Venturing Leader Specific Training
Developed
for Venturing Advisors, assistant Advisors, and crew committee members,
this training incorporates Venturing's current adult leader training.
This Is Scouting and Venturing Leader Specific Training can be
completed in one day, after which the leader is considered to be

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.
