The Far East Council (FEC) Leadership Seminar (formerly the University of Scouting) is a fun-filled training program designed to help develop scouts' and scouters' excellence in the Far East Council.  Scouts will have the opportunity to take some general interest classes.

This year's Leadership Seminar will be held over the course of two days:  Saturday, December 13 & Sunday, December 14, 2025 from 11:30AM-5:30PM (Japan/Korea Time - PLEASE CONVERT TO YOUR LOCAL TIME).  We strongly recommend that participants, faculty, and/or staff register before the event to ensure you can select the classes you want to attend. Classes will fill up, and limited openings will be available on the morning of the FEC Leadership Seminar.
