LEADERSHIP TRAINING


This site provides a variety of materials, from quick references to complete courses, all designed to help our members improve leadership skills and deliver a quality program.
 
E-LEARNING COURSES
These courses can help adult leaders deliver quality Scouting experiences to youth. A log-in is required, however anyone may create a user account and view the courses. Registered members of the BSA may provide their member numbers (as part of the user profile) to receive credit.
BUG ALERT: A number of users have reported that they are unable to create accounts for the e-learning system using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0 (the very latest version) because an image is superimposed over text fields, preventing them from entering data. We are currently working on a newer version of the account creation/management interface that will not have this problem.

 

In the meantime, these users may be able to complete the form if they use their "tab" key to navigate among text fields. Otherwise, they will need to use a different Web browser (Netscape, FireFox, or even an older version of IE) to create an account.

MULTIMEDIA
These online exercises are available for informational purposes. No log-in is required.
