PURPOSE: This course is designed specifically for male scout leaders and assistant scout leaders in troops that welcome female scouts. If you feel comfortable and confident when working with your female scouts, they will feel more comfortable and confident too. We will discuss how to approach potential issues both on the trail and off, working with boys and girls together, how to make sure you are following best practices with Youth Protection Training, and how to ensure you are modeling the values of scouting with everyone in your troop. These can be uncomfortable topics, but they are important to address and will better prepare you to communicate effectively with your troop.
