Every Scout Deserves a Trained Leader

Would you get on a plane if the flight attendant came over the intercom and said, "Welcome to XYZ Air. We hope you enjoy your flight from Waynesville to Tampa Bay today. Your seat back can be used as a flotation device and oh by the way only 34% of our pilots are trained."? You would get off that flight immediately. So why would Cub Scout parents want to bring their boy to a den, pack, troop, crew, or post meeting when only 34% of our leaders are trained?? Training is VERY important not only so the leaders know what their role is but also so that the youth can have a quality program. Every Scout Deserves a Trained Leader!

Steve Jackson , the District Training Chair; is looking for trainers to be on his training team. This is a crucial step in providing periodic trainings in our District as opposed to making you go elsewhere for training. No experience necessary. All would be trainers will need to attend one of the Fundamentals of Training or Trainer's EDGE courses offered at Council.

By December 2013 (Before River Trails goes through our re-chartering process in November) all unit leaders defined as Direct Contact Leaders MUST be trained in their position. This includes Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Tiger Cub Den Leaders, Assistant Tiger Cub Den Leaders, Den Leaders, Assistant Den Leaders, Webelos Den Leaders, Assistant Webelos Den Leaders, Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Crew Advisors, Associate Crew Advisors, Varsity Coaches, Assistant Varsity Coaches, Explorer Advisors, and Assistant Explorer Advisors. If your Direct Contact Leaders are not trained, your re-charter will not be processed.

By December 2014 (Before River Trails goes through our re-chartering process) all registered leaders MUST be trained in their position; including Committee Chairmen and Members of the Committee. Unit charters without all direct contact leaders trained will not be processed. Units with members of the committee who are not trained will be processed provided two or more of the members of the committee are trained. Members of the committee, who are not trained, will not be registered.
