We are looking for experienced troop Eagle advisors able and willing to serve as Eagle advisors on the district advancement committee. If you can recommend anyone for this critical district function, please contact advancement chairman Gene McDermott at genemcdermott@aol.com.

 

LEADERSHIP TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

 

Leadership training is key to providing a quality program – every scout deserves a trained leader! Our district training web page (http://wenthome.com/training/) lists upcoming training opportunities in our area. Please also see the note on updating your unit’s training records at council.

 

NEW ONLINE TRAINING AVAILABLE

 

BSA National has just released a new on-line course called “This is Scouting”.  It will replace the classroom course New Leader Essentials, which served as the introduction to the Basic Adult Leader training track.  You may access this new training from the e-learning section of the MyScouting web site, http://MyScouting.org/.
