Training
General
Troop 200 encourages all parents (Dads AND Moms) to actively participate in the Troop Committee to help run our Troop. We also welcome any Mom or Dad willing to commit to taking any of the council training courses to take the next step and become a registered uniformed leader of our troop. Contact the Troop Training Chairman who can provide you with any information or assistance you need regarding JLT or Adult Leader course offerings.
Youth troop leaders are encouraged to attend one of the week-long junior leader courses (Nagatamen, Brown Sea, or Eagle Feather) annually provided by the Simon Kenton Council.

The Buckeye District and Simon Kenton Council are participating in a pilot program of the Boy Scouts of America. As such, all registered and uniformed leaders will need to be 100% training for their position. New documents available include What makes a trained leader.pdf and FAQs for Pilot Training.pdf.

Troop 200 will reimburse 50% of course costs upon completion of BSA adult and youth leadership training courses.

Adult Leader Training
One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership.
Leadership training provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and methods of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles in Scouting.
Troop 200 is committed to supporting top quality training opportunities for our leaders and parents. Through these efforts at troop, district and council level, the delivery of a better and stronger quality Scouting program can be provided to our entire youth membership.
BSA has developed an e-learning site to help make this process a bit more convenient. You can use the following link - http://olc.scouting.org - to access. They have instructions on site to lead you through the process.
