Conference
These
sessions include a variety of courses conducted on a national,
district or council basis. They are designed to give leaders extra
information or skills in a particular area. There are no
prerequisites and do not need to be
taken in any particular order. The course descriptions give an idea
of the leaders that will benefit most from them. Roundtables and
University of Scouting are included in this group.
Wood Badge - Advanced Leadership Training
This
is a week-long or multiple weekend group course that provides adults
seeking a more dedicated involvement in scouting with advanced
leadership skills. This course is offered by the Los Angeles Area
Council each May. Neighboring councils also offer this course at
different times of the year.
Training Contacts
Courses are offered at the
council and district levels. If leaders cannot find a convenient
session in their districts, they should consider attending courses
in other districts. The Training Chairs are available to help
leaders find sessions that meet their
needs. Phone numbers for Training Chairs are available from District
Executives.
