Training

Every Scout Deserves a Trained Leader.

One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership. Leadership training provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and methods of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles in Scouting. Youth training provides opportunities for Scouts to develop their leadership skills.

For this reason, the Pacific Skyline Council is committed to providing top quality training opportunities for leaders, parents and Scouts at the district and council levels. Through these efforts, the delivery of a better and higher quality Scouting program can be provided to our entire youth membership.
