Become A Leader

Becoming a Trained Leader

Parents are the lifeblood of our pack. Without them, our program would be limited and our Scouts would be missing out on the fun.

It is very easy to become a Trained Leader in our pack. ALL the required training can be taken online - so you can take the training at your own pace.

The more parents the better the program and the more rewarding it is for everyone.

Training isn't just for Leaders, either. There are many scouting training opportunities available to parents through the Kaposia District and the Northern Star BSA.
