1-It's an adult leadership training, not a skills course...it's demanding in the sense that you are learning and practicing leadership concepts, but physically -- every effort is made to keep you comfortable and engaged, no matter your circumstances.
2-Everyone with an interest in Scouting/Youth is invited: leaders, parents, teachers. Couples can come together and share lodging if desired. Those with mobility or dietary issues can and will be accommodated. Your comfort is a top priority.
3-Scholarships are available -- don't let the expense keep you from attending! On the topic of expense: the quality of training offered is corporate-executive-level. This is literally the lowest-cost training of its kind to be found anywhere. Ask your potential Course Director for more information.
4-Attention teachers: CEU credits are available! you can earn 3 ISU credits at $50 each.
5-There are five courses offered in our council this year: four weekend courses at Scout Hollow in February, June, September and November; one week-long course at Tall Timber (family camp) in Island Park in August.
6-The entire program is presented by a devoted volunteer staff whose sole objective is helping you succeed.
7-Youth are involved in the training -- you'll have the opportunity to observe & interact with a Venture Crew while on course.
8-You will meet amazing people and create lifelong friendships.
9- The food is AWESOME!
10- The skills you learn will apply to all areas of your life -- what you learn on course will absolutely make a difference in your scouting unit, your family, your career and more.
and one more thing: It's REALLY FUN! Scout's Honor.
