Scoutmaster-Specific Training introduces you to everything you need to know about running a Scouts BSA Troop. In particular, you and your fellow adult leaders are now in more of a “mentor” position where your job is to help your youth members learn and practice leadership. While this training will not answer every single question you have, it is a great start. This course, combined with Youth Protection Training and the Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) course, will make you an “fully trained” Scouts BSA leader.

All leaders must have a current Youth Protection Training.  It is recommended that you have also completed Hazardous Weather but it is not required.
