Our sessions cover traditional topics that supplement and expand upon the basic Boy Scouts of America training programs.
We offer the unusual, the non-traditional and often unexpected subjects, taught by Scouters with specialized skills and knowledge. Explore the programs we have to offer and take this unique opportunity to broaden your skills. We provide a full day of serious training and an opportunity to network far greater than is available within your own unit.
