Online Training Opportunities

The training group has been busy organizing virtual training courses for our volunteers to take during this time. Volunteers have the options to take our virtual training which is conducted by training volunteers from all over the council. The benefits to this style of training is volunteers can ask questions, meet new people, and Many volunteers will show up as not trained and that is because this past April National made Hazardous Weather Training a requirement for direct contact leaders.

Scouts BSA Leader Training

The Spring Course for Scouts BSA Adult  Leader Training ran by New Horizons has been canceled.

This comprehensive basic training is the very best way for all adult leaders and parents to be trained for their current and future troop positions, to gain a thorough basic understanding of how the Scouting program works, to learn ways to apply this in their home units to help their Scouts run a successful troop program, and to obtain references and resources available for further knowledge. Before attending this class, participants must complete Troop Committee Specific Training and Youth Protection Training. All are available online at my.scouting.org.

Please pre-register with Malcolm Bliss at 314-909-8594/314-640-0332 or malcolmbliss@prodigy.net.

• Your unit charter renewal packet is distributed to the unit leadership and includes an access code specifically assigned to your unit.
• Thirty to forty-five days before your unit’s expiration date, the renewal processor clicks Recharter Now on this webpage and begins the process.
• When the on-line process is completed, the renewal processor prints the completed charter renewal application.
