Training Opportunities

Posted by Mark Abell on September 2, 2010

In 2011, all ASM’s, Committee Members, and other Direct Contact Leaders from all Troops across the country will need to be fully trained in their position in order to remain registered with the Troop as an adult leader. As a result, both the District and the Council will be providing opportunities to get trained. We all owe it to our boys to be fully trained.  Please remember to turn in your training completion certificate and your receipt to the troop.  The troop pays a subsidy for all adult training.

University of Scouting

The University of Scouting offers adult scouters a wide variety of training class, from the required classes to training in camping skills, camp cooking, and a variety of others. It will be held on October 23rd at Thomas Jefferson High School from 7:30 am - 4:00 pm. The cost is $35/person for a full day of training. To find out more, click here.

Trainingpalooza

Once each quarter, the District Roundtable Staff will offer a full day training event to knock out the basic training for all scouter positions. The next Trainingpalooza will be held at the LDS Stake House on Bayou Gulch near Ponderosa HS on September 11th. To find out more or to register for the training of your choice, go to the Denver Area Council Training Page

CPR Training

The District has arranged a great opportunity to get CPR Trained, as well. The cost is $20 per person. The date is November 20th. 3 Sessions will be offered. More info to come.
