Boy Scouts and Venturers - It's not too late to sign up for White Stag NYLT training. Registration information is here, or view a video on it. What a way to improve your unit function by using youth leadership!
Training - Who needs it?
Scout leaders do!! It's never too late to get trained. It makes your job easier, you get to share ideas and problems with other leaders trying to do the same things you are doing and experiencing the same problems that you do. No matter what program you are registered in, training will make your job easier and your experience better. Call the Muncie Scout office for information on when you can be trained. YOUTH PROTECTION TRAINING MUST BE UPDATED EVERY TWO YEARS! As a matter of fact, new leaders are required to take Youth protection training when they register - our Council does not want untrained leaders registered. Do it online or in a class - it only takes around an hour and is well worth the time spent. Training for all can be had by attending the Univeristy of Scouting at Warren Central High School, Saturday January 19, 2014.
