A Training Tutorial
for New and Seasoned Leaders
It is expected that every leader and committee member be trained for their position so they may provide the best possible program for our youth. Each Unit is expected to have someone responsible for encouraging and keeping track of their adult training. The Unit Trainer serves as a liaison to their unit by working with the District Training Committee.
What Training do you NEED?
