Ever boy deserves a trained leader. In an effort to make sure this is a reality, the Heart of American Council (HOAC) has mandated that unit leaders (adults registered with the Troop) complete the required training for the position they are registered for. Most of the training is available on-line except for Assistant Scoutmaster and Outdoor Leader Essentials.
The BSA on-line training is available
here. If you have not done so, you must register and set up and account. To insure that you training is updated correctly, please enter your BSA# in your profile settings. Your BSA# is located on your registration card. If you have any questions or need assistance with this, please contact Gary Guider.
