NFC BSA Training

Training is an important priority in our Council. The North Florida Council Executive Board has passed a resolution requiring all top leaders to be trained by charter renewal time in December of 2008. Attached is a copy  of the resolution along with information on required courses and course descriptions. We also hope to train a higher percentage of our direct contact leaders so they can effectively deliver the Scouting program.
Information on coursed in your area can be found at www.nfcscouting.org
Every boy deserves a trained leader.

     Support Services Director, NFC

 

Resolution #2008-0429-A adopted on April 29, 2008 by the Executive Board of the North Florida Council, Inc. to establish requirement for top leader trained states, “that each key leader of every traditional Scouting unit is required to complete training courses in order to be classified as trained for their assigned position.
