8 Special Note Regarding On-Line Leadership Development When signing in to take an on-line course at Scouters must have their individual BSA registration number in order for the course to be credited to them in the NCAC Records. One obtains a BSA registration number by having submitted an Adult Volunteer Application Form through their Unit Leadership. Once processed, a Scouter can get their BSA registration number from a number of sources: their membership card, the unit charter, Mary Lou Gundersen, a District Executive, or the front desk personnel/operator at the Marriot Scout Service Center. For help in signing in to My Scouting go to SPECIAL NOTE: Youth Protection is REQUIRED for ALL Registered Volunteers and Required Leadership Development for ALL direct contact leaders As of June 1, 2010, Youth Protection is REQUIRED for all registered volunteers. New adult leaders are required to take Youth Protection before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins. Youth Protection must be taken every two years. If a volunteer s Youth Protection record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer cannot be reregistered. ALL Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, Varsity Scout Team Coaches, Venturing Crew Advisors and Sea Scout Skippers, and their assistants should be fully trained in their position. Direct contact leaders are those who come into direct contact with youth members, and include Assistant Cubmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Assistant Varsity Team Coaches, Associate Venturing Crew Advisors, Sea Scout Mates, Troop Committee Members (since they sit on Board of reviews for Scout Rank Advancements) and ALL Den Leader and Assistant Den Leader positions. See pages 15 and 16 for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ s) on Required Leadership Development. When is a leader considered trained? That depends on the program in which the Scouter is registered. See page 2 of this catalog. Before taking any course in Scouting, the Scouter should have submitted an application through the unit committee to be registered in their position. At the completion of each course, the lead trainer submits the course roster to the NCAC for posting in the national computer system. If the Scouter is not registered, the record of having taken the course cannot be posted. Cub Scout Leaders are considered trained when they have completed (1) Youth Protection (YPT) and (2) Cub Scout Leader Specific (CSLST) for their position. When the Scouter changes positions in Cub Scouting he or she must take the training for the new position; the Trained patch may only be worn below the Badge of Office for which the Scouter has trained. The six position-specific subcourses are Tiger Leaders, Cub Scout Leaders (Wolves and Bears), Webelos Leaders, Arrow of Light Leaders, Cubmasters & Assistant Cubmasters, Pack Trainers and Pack Committee Members. Individuals who were fully trained before August 31, 2001 in Cub Scout Leader training for a current registered position need not take CSLST, but do need to upgrade for any change in position. ALL Cub Scout Leader training is on-line and can be found at Scoutmasters & Assistant Scoutmasters are considered trained when they have completed (1) Youth Protection, (2) Scoutmaster Specific for Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster a/ka Indoor, and (3) Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) a/k/a Scoutmaster Outdoor. Individuals who were fully trained in any previous versions of Boy Scout Leader prior to December 31, 2001, need not take training again.

9 Boy Scout Troop Committee Members are considered trained when they have completed (1) Youth Protection and (2) Troop Committee Challenge (TCC) as their Leader Specific. The Trained patch may be worn below the Badge of Office for the committee position for which trained, only. If a committee member, trained in Troop Committee Challenge becomes a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster, the Trained patch should be removed until the requirements for training for the new position are completed. All of these courses are on-line at Varsity Scout Team Leaders and Assistants are considered trained when they have completed (1) Youth Protection, (2) Varsity Scout Leader Specific, and (3) Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) a/k/a Scoutmaster Outdoor. Venturing Crew Advisors, Associate Advisors, and Crew Committee Members are considered trained when they have completed (1) Youth Protection for Venturing Leaders, (2) Venturing Leader Specific, and if your crew has an active outdoor program, then (3) Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) a/k/a Scoutmaster Outdoor. Sea Scout Skippers, Mates and Ship Committee Members are considered trained when they have completed (1) Youth Protection for Venturing Leaders and (2) Sea Scout Adult Leader Basic. These courses are conducted on the regional level. Contact your Regatta or District Executive to locate Sea Scout. Adult Personal Record With Required Leadership Development for direct contact leaders, it is even more important today that each individual Scouters training records be up-to-date at both the District and NCAC levels. The NCAC Adult Update Form (last page of this catalog that can be pulled off to duplicate, fill out and turn in) provides a method to up-date each Scouter s records to reflect all training completed. Help your Unit and the District Team up-date all training records by recording each Scouter s training on this form and turning in a copy to your District Team and to each Scouter s Unit. To submit to your District Team, please it to: [email protected]. Leadership Development Recognition Upon Completion of the coursework described above, leaders are considered trained for their positions and are entitled to wear the Trained patch under the patch showing their scouting position. These patches are presented at the completion of the training courses. Demonstrated performance and tenure in the position for which the Scouter is trained may earn additional recognition in the form of a Certificate and Square Knot emblem. It is each Scouter s responsibility to keep track of the completion of the performance requirements on the Progress Record form for the position. When performance and tenure requirements have been completed the form is turned in to a member of the training committee who will pass it to Mary Lou Gundersen /[email protected] who will approve the completion and submit the form to council for processing. MC Catalog Leadership Development Course Descriptions Fast Start (FS) Fast Start should be taken by every new leader within a few days of accepting their position. It is readily available on the NCAC website under the tab. While Fast Start is a good introduction to the program, it is just a teaser of better training to come. It is the responsibility of the unit committee, or in Cub Scout Packs, the pack trainer, to be sure new leaders take Fast Start and then go on to complete the full training described below. This Is Scouting: Here is where it all begins under the BSA training program. This Is Scouting is the entry-level course required for all Chartered Organization Representatives. It is the foundation for building award winning "Journey to Excellence Units". It is also highly recommended for new leaders to Scouting. This online

10 course gives new leaders an overview of the entire Scout program. It covers: the purposes, aims and methods of Scouting; organization and structure of Scouting units; program funding; safe Scouting; and, the appropriate teaching methods for all ages and stages of youth and young adults. Youth Protection (YPT) and Venturing Youth Protection (VYPT) Youth Protection provides adult volunteers with an understanding about child abuse and the youth protection policies of the Boy Scouts of America. This course is required training for all volunteers in Scouting, and all NEW Volunteer applications MUST have attached to it a certificate evidencing completion of either YPT or VYPT when submitted. This course is required to work at or participate as a Volunteer in ALL Pack, Troop, Varsity, Venturing, Sea Scout, Exploring, Council or National sponsored events. Re-certification is necessary once every two years, and failure to be current at rechartering will result in rejection of a re-registration for a Volunteer. Youth Protection can be taken online by going to Cub Scout Leader Position Specific (CSLST) This training is for all Cub Scout Leaders serving in any registered position and is offered on-line. The course has a general introduction to Cub Scouting followed by Position Specific in breakout sessions for leaders and their assistants who are Tiger Leaders/Cub Scout Leaders (Wolf and Bear)/Webelos Leaders, Arrow of Light Leaders. Pack Trainers, Cubmasters, and Pack Committee Members. If a Cub Scout Leader changes jobs within the Pack, the leader must go back and take training for the new position. This can be taken online at myscouting.org. Youth Protection is a prerequisite for Cub Scout Leader Position Specific. Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) This course is for Cub Scout Leaders and registered adults. For packs wishing to camp, it is required that at least one leader OR PARENT (does not have to be a TRAINED Leader to be a BALOO Trained Adult BUT needs to REGISTER as an adult volunteer) in attendance at the campout has completed the course. Of course, we are hoping Packs will send several leaders and parents. BALOO covers basic camping skills with a heavy emphasis on the BSA-approved techniques for providing a safe and fun camping experience for both cubs and their parents and leaders. BALOO training is not required for Webelos den camping, but the next course listed is highly recommended for Webelos Den camping. Outdoor Leader Skills for Webelos Leaders (OLSWL) OLSWL is always taught in an outdoor setting. The emphasis not only on basic camping and outdoor skills, but also on completion of activity badges that can best be accomplished in an outdoor setting. OLSWL provides a how-too, hands-on, training experience in planning and conducting Webelos outdoor and overnight activities. It reinforces, without duplicating, what you learned in position specific training which is recommended, but not a prerequisite, for OLSWL. OLSWL is not mandatory to take a Webelos den camping. A Webelos Scout may participate in overnight den camping when supervised by a trained adult. In most cases, the Webelos Scout will be under the supervision of his parent or guardian. It is essential that each Webelos Scout be under the supervision of a parent-approved adult. Joint Webelos den-troop campouts including the parents of the Webelos Scouts are encouraged to strengthen ties between the pack and troop. Den leaders, pack leaders, and parents are expected to accompany the boys on approved trips. OLSWL provides the foundation for a successful Webelos Den Camping experience and is an overnight class usually running from morning Day 1 through early afternoon Day 2. Pow Wow Pow Wow is the premier Cub Scout Leader training event of the season, held in November. This all-day event offers approximately 50 different Cub Scout related classes over the course of a day. There are classes of interest to leaders and parents serving in every position in Cub Scouting. There are no prerequisites. Students pick their own schedule of up to six classes to ensure their time is spent in classes most closely aligned to their cub leader positions and areas of interest. BALOO (an all-day course) and Den Chief (two sessions) are also often available in separate modules at Pow Wow. A link to the courses and registration can be found on the NCAC web page. This is an adult training only except for Den Chief which is for the Boy Scout. Scoutmaster Position-Specific (a/k/a Indoor, a/k/a Scoutmaster Specific Leader, a/k/a Boy Scout Leader Specific BSLST) This is a day-long class or two evening classes focusing on the tasks that Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters have to deal with routinely. This is the first of the three required training courses needed to be considered trained as a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster and to wear the Trained strip for a SM or

11 SAM (the other two courses needed being Youth Protection, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills). Scoutmaster Leader Specific will provide you with a basic understanding of what it means to become a Boy Scout Leader and how to foster and lead a boy-run, patrol method based troop. Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) (for Venturing, and Varsity Leaders, too) This is a two-day program of instruction designed to teach scouting leaders skills in the outdoors. It is designed to address the outdoor training needs of Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Troop Committee Members, Varsity Scout Leaders, Venturing Leaders, Sea Scout Leaders and District Staff. Attendees will camp out using their own or shared equipment (from your Troop, or check with the training staff if help is needed) and will cook their meals in a patrol setting. Formal skills training sessions include hands-on work and information for Scouting leaders in: leave no trace, ropes (whipping, tying, lashing), woods tools (knife, saw, ax), fire site preparation & building, cooking, lanterns & stoves, first aid, plant & animal identification, campfire preparation, packing & hiking techniques, and map & compass reading. Troop Committee Challenge (TCC) Boy Scout Troop Committee Challenge, is training designed for the Troop Committee Chairman, Committee Members and interested parents. It consists of completing the Troop Committee Challenge available on-line at the NCAC website. A link to the online class is found at Those who take the on-line training are also strongly encouraged to attend Scoutmaster Specific Leader. This training will help troop committee members deliver a quality program in support of the troop, the Scoutmaster, and the Scouts, by helping to build the commitment of individual committee members, as well as cultivating a better troop committee team. To be considered trained in a troop committee position one must be a registered adult and also complete Youth Protection, and are urged to take Fast Start and This Is Scouting (all 3 are available on-line). Troop Committee Members sit on the Board of Reviews for Scout Advancement. High Adventure Leader High Adventure Leader covers basics for high adventure leaders, advisors, and parents sending their boys (and girls in Venturing) to a high adventure base type of activity. The class is required for Philmont advisors and recommended for adults taking scouts on other high adventure trips such as Lenhok'sin, Sea Base, Maine and Northern Tier. It is offered by NCAC. Back Country Outdoor Leader Skills (BCOLS) The Council Committee offers back Country Outdoor Leader Skills as an optional follow-on to the Outdoor Leader Skills training described above. This course is designed to assist Scouters who are working with older youth using a backcountry venue. While this course provides exposure to skills useful in any backcountry activity, its primary focus is preparing adults for backcountry activities that will take place at locations not supported by BSA infrastructure such as backpacking trips along the Appalachian Trail. It is offered by the NCAC. This is a requirement for Philmont and may also be required for other High Adventure facilities. University of Scouting The highlight NCAC training event of the year is the University of Scouting. This is an annual opportunity, held in February, to pick just the classes you want from more than a hundred being offered covering Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity, Venturing, Sea Scouting and District Operations. There is specialized training in a wide variety of cross cutting subjects as well as the full range of safety certification programs and BALOO. You can earn credits towards a Scouter s Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. degree, or come just for the courses, fun, and great fellowship. Den Chief (DCT) The online course is a Fast Start course and should be taken as a prerequisite to the in person course for Boy Scouts serving as Den Chiefs, and is offered both in the MC Field Service Area and at Pow Wow. The course trains Boy Scouts in the necessary skills to take on and be successful at this vital youth leadership position. The course is designed to motivate Boy Scouts through fun, learning skills, playing games and participating in activities that will help them understand their role in the weekly Den meetings. Many Boy Scouts who become Den Chiefs were never Cub Scouts and this course helps them understand that program. Boys attending will be able to better lead and get along with Cub and Webelos Scout age boys. Both Adult Boy Scout and Cub Scout leaders who manage the Den Chief programs for their Troops or Packs are encouraged to accompany their Den Chiefs and participate and assist at the in-person training, or by reviewing the on-line course.

12 National Youth Leader Conference (NYLT) The National Youth Leader Conference is patterned after Wood Badge for the 21 st Century for Adults (see below). The purpose of NYLT is to support, not replace, the Scoutmaster's role in the training of junior leaders. NYLT is a week-long or multi-weekend experience designed to train the participant in team building and leadership in an outdoor long-term camping setting, calling on the use of First Class rank Scoutcraft skills. The course is conducted by a staff of volunteer Scouts and Scouters selected by the NCAC Junior Leader. NYLT is not another summer camp, but an intense and challenging leadership experience. There are no merit badges offered. Every game, activity, ceremony, and even each meal is designed to be part of a total training experience. Participants get very little free time. Everything is keyed toward meeting the training objectives. Varsity Coach Leader and Venturing Leader Specific s (VCLST and VLST) These two courses provide an introduction to unit organization, leadership training, program development and resources, high adventure, awards and recognition, safety, and youth protection in Varsity and Venturing Scouting programs. These courses are designed for all adult leaders in these programs advisors, coaches, committees, commissioners, and chartering organization representatives. They are held in the MC Field Service Area, and are also available in other Districts throughout the year and at University of Scouting. Sea Scout Adult Leader Basic (SeaSALT) This course provides an introduction to unit organization, leadership training, program development and resources, high adventure, awards and recognition, safety, and youth protection in the Sea Scouting program. This course is designed for all adult leaders in this program skippers, mates, committee members, commissioners, and chartering organization representatives. It is held in other Districts and at the Region level. Powder Horn Powder Horn is a six-day course where adult leaders (Venturing, Varsity, and Boy Scout) get to learn about and do hands-on a variety of outdoor adventure sand sports.. It is like going to camp and getting to be one of the kids - without the kids around. You will learn SCUBA, canoeing and kayaking, sailing, climbing and rappelling, shooting, COPE, GPS and land navigation, horseback riding, caving, wilderness survival, advanced first aid, cooking (and eating of course), advanced backpacking, mountain biking, and more. Outdoor Skills Safety is offered on how to safely conduct outdoor activities such as swimming, boating, trekking, and rock climbing and in accordance with BSA Policies. It is offered at University of Scouting. Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat are online at See also the quarterly NCAC Scouter s Digest, Roundtable and the NCAC Calendar for current information on these classes. The most current BSA Guide to Safe Scouting is posted on the BSA National Council web site at under adult leader publications and resources for download or perusal. Hard copy editions are available at the Scout shop for a nominal cost. Wood Badge Wood Badge for the 21st Century is designed for all Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout and Venturing Leaders who have completed basic training for their position. It is a leadership skills course, based on a format originally created by Scouting's Founder, Lord Robert Baden Powell and is considered the "Ph.D." of Scout training. The course is held over three days over two weekends about a month apart. Participants are required to attend each weekend in its entirety, including all day on Friday (arriving by 8:00 AM). The course will deal with cutting edge leadership and management skills while using a structure built on Scouting's organization and unit program.

Chartered Organization Representative (COR) COR is for all Chartered Organization Representatives. This is an in person training. The training provides an overview of the responsibilities that come with that important position. The COR must be completely trained for a Unit to be considered 100% Trained. Fast Start COR can be found at This Is Scouting, found online at myscouting.org and is a prerequisite for COR. The in person training is offered in September, March, and upon request. Contact Mary Lou Gundersen for more information.

13 Merit Badge Counselor Merit Badge Counselor teaches the role of the MBC as both teacher and mentor to the Scout as he works on the merit badge. It comprehensively reviews how the Merit Badge Counselors should be satisfied that each Scout under their guidance meets all the requirements set forth for the merit badge. It teaches the role of the Merit Badge Counselor as both an examiner and a coach helping Scouts over the different hurdles of the requirements and helping make them aware of the deeper aspects of the subject from their knowledge and experience. It teaches that the counselor should test the Scout to ensure that he has completed all the required work but may not modify the merit badge requirements in the process. This standard ensures that the advancement requirements are fair and uniform for all Scouts. This course is offered in the District and upon request by the District Advancement Committee. Life To Eagle This course is offered by the District Advancement Committee. Eagle Advancement Chairs, Scoutmasters, Parent of Life Scout and Life Scouts should attend. This course will inform you of all the latest Eagle requirements as well as all the information you need to complete the workbook and application.

17 NCAC Leadership FAQs (This information is from the NCAC Leadership Committee) Q. Define direct-contact leaders that REQUIRE Leadership Development. A. The direct-contact leaders are Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Varsity Scout Coaches, Assistant Varsity Scout Coaches, Cubmasters, Assistant Cubmasters, Den Leaders, Assistant Den Leaders, Venturing Crew Advisors, Associate Venturing Crew Advisors, Sea Scout Skippers and Sea Scout Mates. Q. What does the REQUIRED Leadership program require? A. As of December 31, 2012, all direct-contact leaders will be required to complete training. Directcontact leaders are anyone who comes into direct contact with youth members, and includes assistants to the top leaders and all den leaders. Q. What is being done to help us meet the goals of the Top Leader Trained program? A. teams are there to help unit leaders in three important ways: 1. We have expanded our training teams and scheduled additional leader training and outdoor skills courses. 2. We coordinate training schedules within each service area so that the number of course deliveries is maximized and Districts encourage participation of Scouters from other Districts. 3. We continue to offer training at Goshen Scout Reservation during summer camp.. Q. What about the tenured leader who has never completed training? A. While they have probably been trained while performing their roles, it is important for them to participate in the current training so that they and the new leaders entering their unit will have a common language and perspective. There is more than one way to participate in training every district training team is looking for experienced Scouters willing to help deliver training (and satisfy the requirements). Q. What about the person who refuses to take training? A. Since the unit belongs to the chartering organization, Scouters who refuse to take the required training are the responsibility of that organization. Chartered Organizations accepted that responsibility when they signed the Annual Charter Agreement. In that agreement the organization agrees to screen and select leaders that meet the leadership standards of the BSA. Q. What about the Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills? A. All Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Varsity Scout Coaches, and Assistant Varsity Scout Coaches must complete Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills to be considered trained. Also, all Advisors and Associate Advisors of Venturing crews that have an outdoor program must complete Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills. Here again, while they may have been trained while performing their roles, it is important for them to participate in the formal training so that they and the new leaders entering their unit have will have a common language and perspective. There is more than one way to participate in training every district training team is looking for experienced Scouters and those with experience willing to help deliver the training can accomplish the requirements by doing so. Q. Many of the training courses are online, but everyone does not have access to a computer. How do we handle this? A. If Scouters do not have home or work access to a computer, volunteers can go to the council office or their local library to complete online training.

18 Q. How will we know that required training will make a difference? A. History has shown that where there have been increases in the number of trained top leaders there has been improved retention, improved advancement and camp attendance, and even improved participation in council fundraising efforts! Q. How do we update our training records? A. See page 8 of this catalog under the heading -- NEW: Adult Personal Record. Q. How can a Unit obtain their leader training data from District Executives, Commissioners or the District Chairman? A. Your assigned District Executive, your Commissioner, and/or the District Chairman all have training information for the Unit Leader upon request. The NCAC Update form on the last page of this Catalog can be used to update training records. Copies of training cards received at training events can also be provided WITH the completed form, but are not required. Q. Even if I know that the Leaders in a Unit have been fully trained, do I still need to fill out the paper work? A. Short answer, YES. It is essential that all the verifiable evidence be provided to the District and Council and then to National, via ScoutNet, so that all layers of the BSA Leadership know that the NCAC has fully trained Leadership. Q. Should Units already have their data? A. The Units should already have their training data from their recharter. If you have not received it or need replacements, please contact your District Executive, Unit Commissioner or District Chairman. *Editor Note All Troop Committee Members should be trained since they are in Direct Contact with the Scouts. They are the only people who are to sit on Board of Reviews for Scout Advancement.
