Fundamentals Part 1: Science of Training – formerly Fundamentals of Training is an introductory course for Youth & Adults looking to become involved in BSA Training. 

This course is designed to help Scouters, regardless of their experience, to present effective training. It will also help those who might have trained for other organizations learn the BSA’s training techniques and it will help freshen up the skills of current BSA trainers.

The purpose of this course is to introduce those skills needed to provide effective training. At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to understand the principles of how people learn, understand the four primary methods of instruction used by the BSA and will have practiced the BSA’s training techniques.
