What is University of
Scouting?
The University of
Scouting is a one-day leader training program designed to provide ideas and
resources in areas to benefit your Pack, Troop or Crew. The University of
Scouting is offered once a year to assist ALL Scout volunteers in their Scouting
positions.
Who attends the University
of Scouting?
All Adult Volunteers.
This includes Cub Scout Leaders and Parents, Boy Scout Leaders, Venturing
Leaders, Commissioners, District and Council Level Volunteers, and all other
Scout Volunteers. General courses are offered as well as courses for specific
units and positions. You do not have to be a registered Leader to participate.
(Note special training has been set up for Den Chiefs as noted
below.)
What will I do at University
of Scouting?
You will take as
many classes as you like, provided they fit into your schedule! Many classes
are offered at multiple times throughout the day to allow participants
flexibility with their schedules. Also, a MIDWAY will be offered with many
great ideas presented by outside sponsors. Each of these experiences will help
prepare you to provide a quality program for the boys.
Lunch
You can bring a brown bag lunch or purchase
lunch at the on campus food court. Plan to check out the MIDWAY during your
lunch session.
Den Chief Training is
offered at the University of Scouting.
Non-adult Den Chiefs.
Boy Scouts who serve as Den Chiefs are a key part of the leadership team for Cub Scouts and an important part of the pack. Den Chief training will include
games, skits, songs, and how to support the Den Leader. Den Chiefs can attend
by registering for the all-day Den Chief Training being offered, but they will
have to stay with the Den Chief Training and will not be able to attend any
other training offered that day. Confirm your participation with your
Scoutmaster and then submit a completed
Den Chief Registration Form.
Where Will University of
Scouting Be Held?
Registration and opening
ceremony will take place in Zimmer Auditorium.
