Appalachian Trail District Boy Scout Leader Training

BOY SCOUTER TRAINING TRAIL

Each adult leader in a Boy Scout Troop has a defined position.  Effective, coordinated leadership requires that leaders understand their own position requirements as well as those with whom they interact.  To promote a uniform understanding of Boy Scout goals, methods, positions, and responsibility a training path for each position has been developed. 

The list below shows the training paths and the courses to be completed.  However- Extra training is always a good idea and enhances Troop activities.
