Junior Leader Training JLT (Junior Leader Training) Training in Leadership goes on all the time. It is good for the Scouts to plan their own agenda, and then critique themselves when something does not work as expected. Most times, we learn best when things do not go as planned. Then we revise our plan, and hopefully we stand back and glow in our success. This is what the regular JLC (Junior Leader conference) meetings are about. The boy leaders, with the Scoutmaster, meet to plan their agenda and outings. JLT is an official Boy Scout training program to equip Scouts in a leadership position on how to lead. Troop 700 conducts an overnight JLT course each year to prepare candidates for the Council JLT course. It is primarily conducted by leader Scouts who have attended in the past under the guidance of adult leaders. The twofold purpose is to train the new leaders and reinforce and further train the current junior leaders. Parent and Adult Leader Training Fast Start- We would like every parent to attend this training to learn the goals of the Boy Scout program. By doing this they will better understand the purpose of the program, training and activities that their son experiences in Troop 700. This training can be offered during Boy Scout meetings or at other times at necessary intervals. http://olc.scouting.org/info/bsfs.html Youth Protection It is our intent to provide youth protection training to all our parents. Our goal is to have every parent trained to satisfy the BSA requirement for tour permits. This is because we hope that every parent will be involved sometime during the year in working with the boys in some capacity. This training is offered online, or can be scheduled for an individual Troop on request if several parents plan to attend. http://www.longhorncouncil.org/Info/Unit-Support-Information/Youth-Protection-Training.aspx Adult Leader Training The successful operation of a Boy Scout troop requires a number of committed, trained adults. These people must be thoroughly trained in the principles and commitments of the Boy Scouts in order to provide your boy(s) with a safe, enjoyable, learning environment. For this reason, Troop 700 requires that every Adult Volunteer Leader agree to attend the Boy Scout Adult Leader Training. An Adult Volunteer Leader is the Scoutmaster, his assistants, and the Troop Committee that support him. Longhorn Council provides this training online. http://www.longhorncouncil.org/Program/Training.aspx
