Training Events 2012 — 2013

Providing Positive Youth Experience Through Trained Leaders
Every youth deserves a trained leader! Trained leaders make better Packs, Troops, and Crews. When leaders are trained, they feel more confident to run Scouting units, youth have more fun in the program and stay in Scouting longer. Leader training is offered in the Des Plaines Valley Council on an on-going basis. You may attend training in any district. And, if our training schedule doesn't match yours, you may attend training offered at any of the nearby Councils.

Des Plaines Valley Council Training Calendar for 2012-2013



The Des Plaines Valley Council Excellence in Training Award has been established to recognize those units who have set a high standard in leadership training. Studies prove that youth stay in the program longer when they have trained leaders who know how to make the program fun and exciting. See the current list of recipients.
Training Course Descriptions
The Boy Scouts of America provides many courses to help leaders be successful in their roles. Courses are available online, through instructor led training, or both. Some courses are required based on unit roles; some are required for specific activities. See the course lists for:
