      Leader Position Training Requirements (All Branches)

      By skeptic · Posted

      The first time a coding change put me in that position I asked the registrar to help.  Ours was able to simply adjust to new coding and I am again shown as trained, or over trained I suppose.  Occasional review is likely good anyway, I suppose.  My first training was way back in the mid seventies and has seen Woodbadge and Woodbadge staffing; at least five course at PTC, and numerous online reviews and sit ins on some just for fun.

      Hey brother, there is a difference between UNTRAINED and UNTRAINABLE 😜  With S21, Scoutmaster Fundamentals, you are "grandfathered" in. Here's the update from BSA Training:  https://www.scouting.org/training/training-updates/ "Training Code S21 was retired following updates to the current requirements, which are now covered by S11 (Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills) and S24 (Scoutmaster Specific Online or Facilitated Training). These courses were separated to provide greater flexibility and accommodate individual schedules. We strongly encourage all Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters—including those who previously completed S21—to complete the latest training. Staying up to date ensures you are well-equipped to deliver the program as designed and effectively support the Scouts in your care." Also, each time you teach a class, you should include your own name in the Training Attendance Report.  You get credit for those also.  If you taught the current S24, you can get a training bubba to put it in your records.  (Super Secret Squirrel Tip:  You can also get your unit level Training Manager, or a Key 3, to do this.)

      Well I'm "UNTRAINED" again. Even though Scoutmaster Fundamentals has "No expiration date." This despite the fact I taught the SM Specific class multiple times when I was district Training Chair. To the folks who came up with the idea of getting rid of SMF, I will quote one of my districts long serving volunteers, "I've forgotten more about Scouting than you ever learned, and I still know more than you do."
