Training - Who needs it?
Get Trained Here! Scout leaders do!! It's never too late to get trained. It makes your job easier, you get to share ideas and problems with other leaders trying to do the same things you are doing and experiencing the same problems that you do. No matter what program you are registered in, training will make your job easier and your experience better. Call the Muncie Scout office for information on when you can be trained. YOUTH PROTECTION TRAINING MUST BE UPDATED EVERY TWO YEARS! As a matter of fact, new leaders are required to take Youth protection training when they register - our Council does not want untrained leaders registered.
This is a mailing list - encourage parents, den leaders, youth, neighbors, anyone who is interested in receiving information from our District to sign up to get the most up to date information on activities and anything Scouting in our district.
