The Blue Water District is hosting Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops/Crews for all eligible Scouts and Venturers. This is a Scout-led hybrid training program that blends the Troop- and Crew-focused curriculum to meet ScoutsBSA requirements. Topics will include unit organization, leadership & teamwork, and the tools to effectively lead oneself, others, and troops/crews. Additionally, the program will include an overview and demonstration of Scout-led annual unit planning for Troops and Crews. This ILST/ILSC training will satisfy all prerequisites for the Council-level National Youth Leadership Training typically conducted in the Summer, as well as the National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience held at select BSA High Adventure Bases. While not required to attend this course, Scouts/Venturers should either be in a leadership position or identified to fill a position in the future. Enrollment as a troop or crew is recommended, but not required. The all-day program will include lunch, snacks, and refreshments and attendees will receive an event patch and a BSA “Trained” patch upon completion.
