The instructors who teach in our University of Scouting have been chosen by the College Deans for their knowledge, creativity and enthusiasm toward Scouting.  We thank them for volunteering their time to share their scouting expertise and make the University of Scouting a great event!   It is our hope that you take the resources they provide back to your units and Districts to help ensure QUALITY PROGRAMMING for all youth served.  Our young people deserve no less! 

Please review the course catalog link for available classes, including the Merit Badge and trainings being offered for Boy Scouts.
