The University of Scouting is a supplemental training opportunity for all adult Scout leaders, as well as Troop, Crew and Ship youth. Don't let the "University" name scare you - we have no application, no exams, no grades, low "tuition," and the friendliest "professors" you'll ever find.

At UofS you can find, all in one place, the widest variety of training opportunities in all program areas (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouting, District Operations, and Council). Whether you are new to the program or a veteran of many years, the University provides interesting and useful courses. Aside from skill-enhancement courses, we are offering a number of "Position-Required"  and National level courses (the national number is in parentheses). 

For courses available, download the course catalog; to avoid picking courses that overlap, download the class grid.  These can be found HERE.  When you register, after entering your contact information, be sure to click on the lower red "Update Information" box to select your courses.  You will receive an e-mail confirmation from "no-reply@247scouting.com," and a reminder e-mail several days before the event; please check your junk mail folders if you don't find them in your inbox.  We will provide you with updated room assignments when you check in on February 3.  

In 2024, we are offering a Supervised Activity Center for Wolf, Bear and Webelos-Age Youth (generally, 2nd to 5th grade) while you attend classes.  See the course catalog for details.  Register your child under the Cub Scout Youth category.

All courses are held in-person at Valley Forge Military Academy.  Some classes will be on the second floor of a building with no elevator.  If you are unable to use stairs, please let us know as soon as possible, and we will try to shift room assignments.  Coffee, tea, and Danish in the morning and cookout for lunch - hot dogs, hamburgers, meatless options and other items.
