There is something for everyone from the first time trainee (new Scouter) to the seasoned veteran. New scouting requirements and major changes have occurred for this year. These changes will be part of the programming at the University. We hope that you will find a new twist to some old tricks that you can take home and use with the youth in your unit.

Your trainers have had Trainers Development Conference/and or Edge and most are Wood Badge Trained so you know they are the best qualified.
