The Las Vegas Area Council provides training for all areas of program, leadership, and supervision.  Regular courses are held at convenient locations in each district.

Volunteers should establish a mandate and mind-set that untrained leadership meeting with young people is unacceptable.

If you bookmark the page, you will be able to get back to it when you need to do additional training.  All Cub Scout Leader specific training is now available online with the exception of Webelos overnighter training and Baloo training.   

Create your account at MyScouting.org.  Write down your user name and password so you can find them when you need to renew your training.  A contact in your email client is a very good place so you do not lose that little piece of paper.   If you have forgotten your user name or password, use the "Forgot User Name" or Forgot Password" under the login area of the MyScouting.org account sign in page.

Take your specific youth protection training and Leader Specific Training.  Print out your certificates and give them to your unit training person, to get to the council office.  Make sure your Person ID gets entered into your MyScouting account once you are registered in scouting so all your training records will come directly to Scouting database.

College of Commissioner Science 
Extenstion Leadership Series

The College of Commissioner Science (CCS) is offering a series of professional educational workshops that will feature diverse hands-on techniques that will enable the participants to fully understand some “best practices” involved in adult volunteer training. The overall outcome of the series of courses is that the participants will become competent, comfortable, and equipped with the latest ‘tools” designed to heighten their knowledge base.

The following sessions are an “extension” offering of the College of Commissioner Science, and are being offered to all commissioners (Unit, District and Council) in the Las Vegas Area Council, whether they are in the bachelor, master, and doctorate programs, and also to those scout leaders not currently in the CCS programs at all.  The sessions will be open to all committee members (pack, troop, varsity, or venturing).

The six 5-hours sessions will be offered monthly, on Saturday mornings at the Donald W. Reynolds Scouting Resource Center – 7220 S. Paradise Rd. Las Vegas, NV 89119.  You may attend any course or all six.  Check-in for the courses begin at 8:00 am with the sessions going from 8:30 am – 1:30 pm.  There is no cost to attend the courses, however we ask that you pre-register on-line.  click on the class to register.
