Every Scout Deserves a Trained Leader!

Why?

Trained leaders show knowledge and confidence and have a positive impact on the quality of programs, retaining youth, providing a safe environment, and a whole lot more.
   
                                   A trained leader is better prepared to make the Scouting program all it can be!
