University of Scouting 2026
November 7, 2026
University of Scouting is a fun-filled day of supplemental training designed for all adult leaders, regardless of position or program. We offer over 80 unique classes, including several new options, led by experienced volunteers and professionals to help you enhance your ability to deliver a fun and exciting program to the youth in your unit. Whether you're a parent, a new leader, or a seasoned veteran, everyone is guaranteed to learn something new! It’s also a great opportunity to network with other Scout leaders and share best practices across the Council. Invite ALL the adult volunteers in your unit—parents too!—and help us deliver the Promise of Scouting to our youth.
