What is the University of Scouting?
The University of Scouting is an adult leader's learning adventure! It is an action-packed, fun-filled single day of supplemental training where you choose the classes you wish to take. Classes are led by experienced volunteers and professionals who will help you enhance your ability to deliver a fun and exciting program to the Scouts.
Typically held in January, check-in starts at 7:30 a.m.
*Held at Region 10 and at Camp Wisdom*
The University of Scouting offers a wide range of unique adult leader training courses from the:
