Leadership training of Scouting America

Leadership training in Scouting America includes training on how to administer the Scouting program, outdoor skills training for adults and youth, and leadership development courses for adults and youth. Some of these courses, like Safeguarding Youth Training (formerly known as Youth Protection Training) are mandatory. While a few are hosted at the national level (primarily at Philmont Training Center in New Mexico), most of the courses are offered by local councils or online. Most are available to all members of Scouting America in all programs.
