Why do we need to be trained?

• Every Youth Deserves a Trained Leader
• 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.
• We need to meet our training goals so that our
  Troop can win awards!
