Adult Training

Quality Unit Standards now require at least 50% of our actively involved registered adults be trained.

Cub Scout Pack Training does not carry over to the Troop.

As you complete any scout training, please provide a copy of your training card with the completion date of the Training to Larry Shannon so he can record the dates in our Troop records.


Boy Scout Fast Start Training

All adult leaders are required to complete Fast Start Training. 

Online Fast Start training is a quick orientation to help you get ready for your first Boy Scout meeting. The training is divided into five sections:

  • The Troop Meeting
  • The Troop Committee
  • The Outdoor Program
  • Basic Concepts of Scouting
  • The Scout Uniform

You may review the sections all at once, or one at a time (in any order). There is no time limit, nor do you need to review all sections from the same computer.


Youth Protection Training

All registered adult leaders are required to take this training.  You may elect to take this training online which will test your knowledge of the material and record your results and participation with the council.  In addition Youth Protection Training is offered during various times of the year by the Council and Troop.

Registered adults who have not had this training and are planning to attend Summer Camp are encouraged to complete Youth Protection prior to camp.

The training takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete.


Safe Swim Defense & Safety Afloat

Most accidents in aquatics activities are caused by the lack of adult supervision and discipline. Almost every accidental drowning can be attributed to the violation of one or more safe swim defenses.

Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat are required training courses for our unit to participate in ANY aquatic activity. This training is offered online to any registered adult leader.
