ABRAHAM LINCOLN COUNCIL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

Scouting's value to young people is clear, but the advantages of Scouting are not limited to boys. Adults, too, develop leadership and physical skills with every training experience. Scouts and leaders are all strongly encouraged to take advantage of every training opportunity.  A trained leader is knowledgeable and confident in the role being performed. This knowledge and confidence is quickly sensed by the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers they work with. A trained leader is better equipped to deal with their role, more enthusiastic about the program, more effective at providing quality program, and inspires those with whom they come into contact. Trained leaders have more fun, serve more youth, and better retain the youth they serve. The aim of the Abraham Lincoln Council Training Team is to provide all adult leaders with fundamental information about the Scouting movement and specific information relating to the role they have volunteered to play as soon as possible.
