“This is Scouting” replaces New Leader Essentials

“This is Scouting” was added to the BSA’s on-line Learning Center over the weekend. “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. Councils should eliminate New Leader Essentials from all training calendars and add a link to http://MyScouting.org.

While the primary delivery method for “This is Scouting” is on-line, a DVD . No. 36118, will be available after April 1, from Supply 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, as credit for this training will be recorded on their PAS record upon completion.

Questions should be directed to Jamie Shearer (jamie.shearer@scouting.org) Program Impact Department or Joe Glasscock (joe.glasscock@scouting.org) Team Leader, Volunteer Development.
