Training

IT’S A FACT • Trained leaders recharter 18% more youths than untrained leaders do. • Parents expect to have their boys led by quality trained leaders. • Upon recruitment, we promise to train the leaders in their positions. • And your job is easier and more rewarding after you have been trained! TAKE THE TIME! MAKE THE TIME! GET TRAINED!

Be sure to check-out the Council Training Home Page for sessions provided by the Council Training Committee.
