One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience
for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each
responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership. Leadership training
provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and
methods of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles
in Scouting.
For this reason, the Muskingum Valley Council is committed to provide top
quality training opportunities for leaders, parents and Scouts at the
district and council levels. Through these efforts, the delivery of a better
and quality Scouting program can be provided to our entire youth membership.
The training program of the Muskingum Valley Council and the Boy Scouts of
America is designed to meet the needs of each volunteer leadership position.
These training opportunities are varied and flexible enough to reach all
leaders through group training experiences, personal coaching, self-study,
or on-the-job training.
Many of the introductory courses are now available
on-line via the BSA Online Training Center. To access the
center, you will need your BSA identification number, which is located on
the bottom of your registration card. If you are a new leader and do
not yet have a registration card, you may contact the Council Service Center
at 1-800-934-2128 to get your BSA ID number. To visit the Online
Training Center, click the "BSA Online Training Center" graphic at the top
