Register NOW for World-Class Leadership Training !!!

by

New and seasoned Scouters, you have the opportunity to take WORLD-CLASS leadership training offered by NCAC. It is easily the equivalent of the best corporate management and leadership programs!

The course is Wood Badge, a 103 year-old course first taught by Baden-Powell and most recently updated in 2020 for our era of Scouting. The next course will be taught this early fall at Camp Snyder.

Over the course of two weekends in September and October, Scouters will immerse themselves in engaging, interactive instruction and live the life of a Scout. For some, it will be a life-changing experience! For everyone, it will be a FUN and fulfilling event, lead by a well-experienced and trained staff of Scouters.

A great side benefit are the Scouting friends and connections participants make to help them in their future work with our youth. It is designed for Scouters working at the unit, district and the council level. Whatever your Scouting position, you will benefit from this course!

NEW Adult Live Training Guidelines!

by

Updated: 9/28/2020

Live Adult Leader Training is approved in NCAC in accordance with the following guidelines:

The health and safety of our Scouters, Scouts and their families is our first priority. If the county or state in which the training is presented has more restrictive guidelines, those guidelines shall supersede.

1.     Keep number of participants below 50 persons (including all participants and staff).

2.     Submit a Safety Plan to augment the BSA SAFE Restart Scouting Checklist to NCAC Enterprise Risk Management, NCAC Program Director, NCAC Training Chair, and NCAC VP Program Impact. (Use the Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge #470 COVID-19 Protocol as guide) at least 1-2 weeks prior to the event and before it is advertised.

3.     Perform the event as planned and strictly follow safety guidelines

4.     Submit an After-Action Report (on safety lessons) to NCAC Enterprise Risk Management, NCAC Program Director, NCAC Training Chair, and NCAC VP Program Impact one week after each event. (after each week if multiple weekends)
For in-person training activities by a District or Council training committee, if a virtual option is available, like the Beta-Virtual IOLS, it is preferred that the virtual course is presented. If a virtual training option is not available or does not meet our needs, the guidelines listed above must be followed.
