Scout Leader Training:
Boy Scouts has changed its primary Adult Leader Training program. No longer is training divided up as Cub, Webelo, and Boy Scouts.
Upon completing the "Youth Protection" and "Fast Start", all leaders will attend “New Leader Essentials”
and then an additional course/s in their area of service (Leader Specific Training). It is the goal of T32 to have as many trained
adults as possible in order to provide a better Scouting program for our youth. The first step in this training is the
"Youth Protection" and then the “New Leader Essentials” course. All adults of T32 are strongly encouraged
to get started with these courses.
Effective January 1, 2003, National Tour Permits require current Youth Protection Training for all adults accompanying scouts
on their trips. The State of Texas now requires all adults traveling with youth to have Youth Protection Training.
It may be taken on line from the Council Web Site. If you want to camp, drive or travel with the troop, you MUST complete
"Youth Protection" and keep the training current.
