| Fast Start |
Training Fast Start training is the first step for any new volunteer and is to be delivered immediately after a new leader registers and before he or she meets with any youth member. This training is available on-line. |
| Basic Leader |
The Basic Leader Training comprises two parts: This is Scouting, available on-line, and the Leader Specific training, based on the leader's primary position. If you change position, you must complete the leader specific portion for your new position. |

| Pow Wow |
Pow Wow is a day-long event. It provides supplemental training and idea sharing. It does not replace Fast Start, New Leader Essentials or position-specific training; it complements that training with a wealth of practical information. Pow Wow has sessions for Den Leaders, Webelos Leaders, Cubmasters, and Committee Members. All assistants to those positions are welcome, too. |
| Institute of Scouting |
The Institute of Scouting is a day-long event providing supplemental training and idea sharing. It does not replace Fast Start, New Leader Essentials or position-specific Training; it adds to that training with additional practical information. Where Pow-Wow is aimed at Cub Scout Leaders, the Institute of Scouting is geared for Scoutmasters, PLC members, and Troop Committee Members. All assistants to those positions are welcome, too. Sessions are usually provided for Commissioner and District staff as well. |
| Wood Badge |
Wood Badge is Scouting's premier training course. Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, directed the first course in 1919. Wood Badge for the 21st Century has four specific objectives: View Scouting globally, Recognize contemporary leadership concepts, Apply skills learned from team participation, and to share in an overall experience that helps provide Scouting leadership. |
