The Northwest Texas Council is committed to providing the best program possible for the youth in Scouting and believes that can be done best when leaders, both adult and youth, have had proper training.
All fees, if any, will be collected upon check-in at the training session. We ask that if you plan on attending any training, RSVP to the Council Service Center (940) 696-2735 and confirm which training course you will be taking at least 1 week prior to the training This will greatly improve our ability to plan for your training. Also for the Leader Specific trainings, please indicate which position in the unit you will be training for.
The first training for ALL new leaders in Scouting is Fast Start. Every unit should have copies of the appropriate Fast Start Tapes and Viewers Guides. Scouters may also take any or all of the Fast Start trainings online by visiting www.scouting.org.

New Leader Essentials has been replaced by "This is Scouting"
"This is Scouting" was added to the BSA's on-line Learning Center. "This is Scouting" replaces New Leader Essentials as a required course for Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing volunteers to earn the "Trained" leader emblem.
While the primary delivery method for "This is Scouting" is on-line, a DVD . (No. 36118), is available from the Scout Office for areas where internet access is limited or where group presentation is desired.
All Scouters are encouraged to create a MyScouting account and access this training through the MyScouting portal. |

Youth Protection Training |
 |
 |
 |
Youth safety is the No. 1 concern of the BSA.
To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies:
Effective June 1, 2010:
- Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers.
- New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.
- Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
Please click here for steps to ensure these policies are fully implemented.

Safe Swim & Safety Afloat Online Training |
|
|
|
|
Before a BSA group may engage in swimming activities of any kind, a minimum of one adult leader must complete Safe Swim Defense training, have a commitment card with them, and agree to use the eight defenses in this plan.
Safety Afloat has been developed to promote boating and boating safety and to set standards for safe unit activity afloat. Before a BSA group may engage in an excursion, expedition, or trip on the water (canoe, raft, sailboat, motorboat, rowboat, tube, or other craft), adult leaders for such activity must complete Safety Afloat Training, have a commitment card with them, and be dedicated to full compliance with all nine points of Safety Afloat.
