BEAR CLAW 15-24

2024 LEADERSHP CONFERENCE

Bear Claw is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members with leadership skills and experience they can use in their home units and in other situations demanding leadership of self and others.

There is also an adult breakout session designed to share ideas and help adults gain a better understanding of how the youth-led patrol method benefits the unit.  This session is open to all registered adults, including Webelos II parents.

Bear Claw is a one-day interactive leadership training event designed by Scouts for Scouts. It is designed to bridge the leadership training gap that exists between Introduction to Leadership Skills (ILSx) and the National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) programs. Content is delivered by senior level Scouts in a troop and patrol setting. Participants may choose between the Patrol Leader and Senior Patrol Leader tracks. Throughout the day all the participants will learn how to effectively lead their units using the patrol method. They will see how effective a program can become with minimal adult oversight with proper planning, communication, and team development.

All youth should have their Unit Leader's approval to attend this leadership conference and will be asked to indicate it on the application form.  The form will need to be filled out by each scout/adult participant, after registering on-line and paying on-line.
