BSA Training

 

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

On my honor

I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself

physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

A Scout is ...

trustworthy, loyal,

helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind,

obedient, cheerful,
thrifty, brave,

clean, and reverent.

 

Baden-Powell, our founder, called Scouting a "game with a purpose." Our purpose is to help youth grow in citzenship, character, and mental, moral and physical fitness. Our effectiveness as adult leaders depends on how well we understand the aims and methods of the program.

But kids are attracted by the "game" portions - outdoor activities and just plain fun. Training will help you accomplish both parts, plus provide you wiht lots of resources and ideas. In the process, you'll gain friends and find out that the youth are not the only ones enjoying themselves!

 

So when is this training?

The Ouachita Area Council schedules training meetings and other activities

through out the year to make it available as much as possible to new leaders.

You can check this site for information about the latest training meetings and activities being planned by the Council. Listed below are some upcoming class dates.
