Why training? 

Common sense tells us that training is important, and research shows the importance of trained leaders. A trained leader is knowledgeable and more confident in the role being performed. Trained leaders exhibit a knowledge and confidence that is picked up by people around them. Trained leaders impact the quality of programs, leader tenure, youth tenure, safety, and a whole lot more. A trained leader is better prepared to make the Scouting program all it can be!

Del-Mi District's instructor-led courses are designed to help Scouters learn how to effectively carry out their Scouting roles. With the exception of Scoutmasters and their assistants, completing the course will make a Scouter "trained" for the role(s) covered in the course. E-learning versions of some courses may be found online at http://my.scouting.org.
