University of Scouting

What is the University of Scouting??

The University of Scouting is an adult leader’s learning adventure! It is an action-packed, fun-filled single day of supplemental training where you choose the sessions you wish to take. Sessions are led by experienced volunteers and professionals who will help you enhance your ability to deliver a fun and exciting program to the scouts.

• College of Cub Scouting: Cub Scout leaders can pick up tips on "Making the Most of your Den Chief" or "Keeping Chaos from Controlling your Den" or one of many other courses filled with tips, hints and fun suggestions.
  

• College of Boy Scouting: Boy Scout and Varsity Scout leaders can learn about any of BSA's high-adventure bases (including The Summit) or receive some pointers on "Meaningful Scoutmaster Conferences" among a variety of topics.
  

• College of Venturing: Venturing advisors can spend the day on Venturing-specific topics. This is new for 2012!
  

• College of Commissioner Science: Commisoners have a slate of offerings to help you earn a Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate of Commissioner Science.
  

• College of General Studies: Leaders and parents can take other general studies topics which span a variety of scouting programs. This, too, is new for 2012!

We will also offer two special information sessions: State of the Boys Scouts of America and State of the Council where the highest level leaders at the National and Council levels will be on hand to provide the latest updates and goals.
