Training Roadmap

A specific set of trainingexperiences has been designed for each Scouting leadership position. To find which courses you should take, find your position in the left column of the table below. If you change positions in the future (for example, if you are now a Cub Scout Den Leader and you become a Webelos Den Leader), you should refer to this chart to determine which new training you will need.

You should plan to participate in Fast Start, New Leader Essentials, and Leader Specific Training for your position as soon as possible after you volunteer. You are also strongly encouraged to participate in supplemental training, and to consider advanced training when your experience warrants.
