New Leader Essentials is an introductory session that highlights the values, aims, history, funding, and methods of Scouting.

Ideally, all unit-based volunteers—Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, and Venturing leaders—take this session at the same time, so they understand that they are all striving for the same results with the youth they serve. Each leader completes New Leader Essentials training only once.

Cub Scout Specific Training, Boy Scout Specific Training, and Venturing Specific Training are more, well, "specific" to your role.

* Tiger Cub den leaders
* Cub Scout den leaders
* Webelos den leaders
* Cubmasters
* Pack committee members
* Scoutmasters
* Troop committee members
* Venturing committee members
* Venturing Advisors

After completing this training, NLE, and Fast Start, you are awarded the "Trained" patch.

Roundtable is a monthly program put on by your district. Scouters of all experience groups attend and share ideas as you prepare for the coming month's worth of activities.

A list of dates and times can be found on your District's website.
