"Every Boy Deserves A Trained Leader"

One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership. Leadership training provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and methods of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles in Scouting.

The Cherokee District Training Committee is committed to providing top quality training opportunities for leaders, parents and Scouts at the district and council levels. Through these efforts, the delivery of a better and quality Scouting program can be provided to our entire youth membership.

The BSA Training Program

The BSA training program provides an increased awareness of all aspects of the Scouting program. It develops an understanding that Scouting fosters the same values and aims for youth at all levels. It uses proven methods to deliver the values and aims of Scouting in an age-appropriate progam. It affords leaders an easy and convenient transition as they advance from one program to another. Finally, it removes perceived and artificial barriers among Scouting volunteers.
