Important Update Regarding Adult Leader Position-Specific Training

Posted on Jan 17 2025 - 1:16pm
BSA Update:  The Hazardous Weather Training Course (SCO_800) is required for all direct-contact leaders and is included in the associated position-specific training learning paths. Much like Youth Protection Training (YPT), the Hazardous Weather Training course must be renewed every two years
 
Registered Adults with Troop 635 - Please take the online Hazardous Weather Training Course (SCO_800). It takes about 28 minutes to complete and offers helpful information and reminders about planning and conducting outdoor activities with our youth. We greatly appreciate your time, support, dedication, and service to our Scouts.
(This applies to adults who participate in Troop campouts, outings and high adventure and is recommended for all youth.)
 
The following training courses also expire every two years and need to be renewed by those who have already completed them.:

T635 ILST (Youth Leadership Training)

Posted on Jan 16 2025 - 9:25am

Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops (ILST) on Saturday, February 1st at Camp Michaels Eagle's Lodge. <rsvp here>

This T635 Youth-led, day-long leadership training program is for all scouts, and targeted to those who have been recently elected into a Troop Youth Leadership position or anticipate serving in one in the future. This is an important event to onboard our new leadership team and to foster positive team dynamics between leadership & patrols, and within patrols themselves.  Participation by newly elected youth leaders is strongly encouraged and expected.  This course, led by recent T635 NYLT graduates Aiden, Charles, Drew, Lucas, Chase and Abe (thank you!) along with the support of SM Mr Howdyshell and the ASMs, will deliver the BSA ILST Course Syllabus.  ILST is intended to repeat after each Unit election as each new leadership team is formed.  The work this present youth training team is producing will be used as a model for the outgoing  leadership to use when they in turn facilitate the next Troop ILST offering.

The day will include presentations, group discussions, tools for communication, review of troop organization and team building games.  At completion, the ASMs will host dinner (thank you!).  Time & interest permitting, there is an optional campout Saturday (1-night) and movie. The Troop Committee is sponsoring this event (thank you!) so the cost to participate is $0 (BYO Lunch).  We'll carpool down/back from EUMC.  Be sure to rsvp at the link to ensure we have enough vehicles and food.  Should be a fun day and a great way to support the success of our newest leadership!  To learn more and to register <click here>.
