Training Overview:

Training is necessary not only for the information it gives but for other reasons as well.
  • It builds the confidence of leaders, which in turn builds the confidence of unit members in their leaders. This helps ensure success.
  • It increases the tenure of leaders because they derive greater satisfaction from their job.
  • It gives leaders the chance to become acquainted with other leaders.
For the leaders of each type of unit, several levels of training are available: Fast Start training, basic training, supplemental training, and advanced training. The methods are flexible enough to include individual or group training, though group training is usually best.

In addition to unit leader training, district training volunteers support the council in its responsibility for Wood Badge training, the training of district volunteers, and training certain youth leaders. They also encourage all volunteers to participate in the training recognition plan, which motivates and recognizes progress in the leadership development plan. District and council volunteers can benefit from training opportunities offered at Philmont Volunteer Training Center.
