FYI: Longhorn District Scoutmastership Fundamentals

Are you perplexed? Don't understand the advancement process? Can't answer your son's questions? Confused by all the terms? Are you a Scoutmaster with a bunch of willing adults, but no trained Leaders? Are you a Cub Scout Leader, who just wants to know what changes await next spring? Have we got the Program for you. We all go through this when we become adult leaders in the Boy Scout program. As a leader however, we are committed to bring the best possible program to the Scouts in our Troops. The only way we can fulfill our commitment is to be properly trained, know what we are talking about, and be able to deliver the program correctly.

The Longhorn District's fall basic training course for Boy Scout leaders, Scoutmastership Fundamentals, will be held September 21st, 28th, 30th and will conclude with an overnight campout on October 14th-15th.
