One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership. Leadership training provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and methods of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles in Scouting.
For this reason, the Cornhusker Council is committed to provide top quality training opportunities for leaders, parents and Scouts at the district and council levels. Through these efforts, the delivery of a better and quality Scouting program can be provided to our entire youth membership.
Cornhusker Council is offering the Wilderness First Aid course to help you meet the requirements so you can do high adventure activities this summer. Wilderness and Remote First Aid is a 16-hour course that provides individuals a foundation of first aid knowledge and skills to be able to respond to emergencies and give care in areas that do not have immediate access to EMS response. This includes wilderness and remote environments and urban disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes. This training is designed for individuals who are at least 14 years of age and hold a current certificate in Adult CPR/AED. The course is being offered on the following dates and you must be present at all to complete: Thursday Jun 1st, 6-10pm, Friday June 2nd 6-10pm, Saturday June 3rd 8am-5pm
With the launch of Scouting U’s eLearning content for Boy Scout leaders, Scouters now can get trained on their own schedule — anywhere, any time.
Beginning today, April 3rd, the traditional paper registration method will not be the only way to join Scouting. The Boy Scouts of America will offer online registration to meet the demand for completing the entire registration process for youth members and adult leaders more efficiently.
The Youth Protection (Y01) online training course will now work on mobile devices. Volunteers can access YPT at my.scouting.orgmy.scouting.org and complete the training from their tablet!
