Trained leaders and involved parents provide better
programs that keep boys in Scouting and help them to advance in rank. You
are encouraged to take a course that’s offered at a convenient time and
location, regardless of whether it is in your District. Those Varsity Scout
leaders who have taken all courses marked with an * for their leadership
position are considered “trained” in that position and may wear the
"Trained" patch.
Varsity Leaders may wear the Scouter’s Training Award
by completing the Scouter's Training Award requirements.
