Training Opportunities for Scouts

Junior Leader Training for scout youth leaders in various roles, a mini version of Woodbadge. A quick course can be done in-troop, a one-week course during the holidays. is more thorough and more rewarding. We should also look at Monterey's 3-phase White Stag program (www.whitestag.org)(June), it has three levels, patrol members, patrol leaders, and SPL level. Also can join Santa Clara Council's Bristlecone Course (August?). Other co8uncils run training as well.

Den Chief Training for scout youth leaders, a one-day session. A great aid to recruitment.
