BSA TRAINING
Boy
Scouts of America does not currently have a standard training program for Scout
Leaders. Training within the scouting program (with the exception of Philmont
Training Center) usually comes from volunteer leaders who have children with
special needs, or teach children with special needs. The best way to find out
if training is available is to contact your council’s committee on scouting
with disabilities. Recommended places for training opportunities:
District
Level – Roundtables (Talk to you district
training chair)
Council
Level – Pow-wow or University of
Scouting Course
Council
wide training course/presentation
National
Level – Philmont Training Center – Working with Scouts with Special Needs
