All Scouts and Scout leaders—as representatives of an organization whose motto is “Be Prepared”—should be sure they are always ready with an appropriate first-aid kit when it’s needed. Your kit may be simple, or more complex if you are trained to use it properly. But the kit must always be on hand and stocked with every essential item.

Every Scout deserves a trained leader. Every leader deserves to be trained. Leadership is a skill that is learned through training and practiced by doing. Through the Training Committee, the Connecticut Rivers Council provides a wide assortment of training opportunities for leaders at every level of Scouting. This is an addition to the comprehensive online training the national office offers. From Cub and Boy Scouts, through Sea Scouts and Venturing, we offer the required and supplemental courses you need to “Get Trained, Then Lead.”Continuous Improvement Is Our Goal.
Doctors, government and industry leaders, educators, and other professionals engage in continuous training. In our program, we have similar avenues to increase knowledge bases. While basic training (Position-Specific Training and Introduction to Outdoor Leaders Skills, for example) does not expire, we encourage our leaders to stay current on the latest techniques and offer classes to make that possible. Go to your my.scouting.org sign into your account or create one and begin your training today.
