New Leader Essentials has been replaced by "This is Scouting"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.
