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 unpaid fees will be collected 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.
