Boy Scout Leader Fast Start Training (online)

All registered leaders should take the Fast Start Training. This hour-long online cource includes the following segments:

THE TROOP MEETING: This is the primer on how to run a troop meeting. Produced for new leaders and commissioners, it covers planning, parts of the Meeting, the patrol method and resources.

THE OUTDOOR PROGRAM: Running troop meeting is one thing; running a successful outdoor activity is another. This program goes into planning, organization, ideals and the BSA policy for outdoor activities. It also touches on long-term and high-adventure activities.

THE TROOP ORGAINIZATION: This program starts with the charter concept--the chartered organization, the district and the council, and their relationship to the troop. Each leadership and committee position is described. An excellent program for commissioners, troop committees, troop leaders and chartered organizations.

This online course should be taken prior to taking the class room course, New Leaders Essentials.
