Welcome
This
site was designed to help orient new adult leaders into their
position as well as explain the continuum of training provided
by the Hiawatha Seaway Council for volunteer leaders. Generally
speaking, training describes the basic workings of the Scouting
Program. This orientation is to help eliminate the doubts that
new volunteer leader have about their responsibilities.
Why We Train Leaders!
Trained
leaders provide a Scouting Program that helps to retains youth
in the program and further the mission of citizenship training,
character development and personal and mental fitness. Cub Scout
Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Venture Crews lacking trained leaders
are less effective at youth retention. Trained leaders provide
a quality program that is exciting and fun for the youth, the
leaders and the families!
