In order to achieve the status of Centennial Quality Unit and Centennial Quality District, one of the requirements is having trained leaders. Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout toops and Venturing crews need to have all of their "direct contact" leaders trained. Your unit's direct contact leaders are Cubmaster, den leaders, Webelos den leaders; for Boy Scout troops and Venturing crews, the Scoutmaster and Venture crew Advisor.
If you're a new leader or are now holding a new position, be sure to go to training! There are a variety of training opportunities in the North Star District, as well as throughout the council, that you can attend. It's very important to have all the adult leaders in your unit trained. This helps ensure safety, promotes an awesome program and, above all, enables the Scouts to have FUN!
For more information, contact District Training Chairman Bob Swank at 314-972-7326 or swank54@netzero.net.
Fees are collected during the registration for these training sessions.
