Leader Training

Leaders and parents among us who are new to the Troop and Scouting or who haven't attended the Scout Leaders Fundamentals Course( one day) and the companion Outdoor Leaders Course (weekend) should do this in order to become a trained Assistant Scoutmaster.

Our District, thanks to Mr. Dean Snow, has one of the best courses available and this Spring it is being taught toward the end of the month to avoid troop activities. Please think about it and go to: vulcandistrict.org for the dates it is being given. the schedule is under the training tab on the web site. Those of you who are trained in these basics should consider taking the Wood Badge Course they are also offering this year, and every year down the road.

There are also other courses being offered with their dates also. For those who have completed the course and are in the process of earning your training keys the various leaders knots we discussed earlier, call Mr. Snow and ask for a position on his staff as an instructor/facilitator.

The leaders in Troop 21 have kept and continue to perpetuate the legacy of attending and teaching in all of these available courses. It gives us the depth we need for a strong program in the Troop.

As stated yesterday..the web site woodbadgeman.com, created by one of our own local leaders in Troop 93 (Oakmont Presbyterian), explains the purpose and description of most training and recognition available for leaders that you should be aware of and as time permits, utilize, attend, or recommend.

Thanks to Mr. Simon the Council and District web sites are links on our own Troop web site.

Thanks for all your support...
