* To be considered "fully trained", Scoutmasters require Fast Start, Youth Protection, This is Scouting, Boy Scout Leader Specifics, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS). Cub leaders require Fast Start, Youth Protection, This is Scouting and Cub Scout Leader Specifics (for their particular position). IOLS for Webelos/Webelos Leader Outdoor Training (WLOT/WeLOT) are highly encouraged for Webelos leaders, but not required. These trainings may be accomplished in any order suitable to the attendee. Fast Start, This is Scouting and Youth Protection may be completed online at the BSA Online Learning Center (you will need your BSA ID Number from your membership card to create an account and receive course credit).

Notes:

TBA is "to be announced". This could mean that it will be announced prior to the event, that it will be announced at the event at which it's to occur (ie, training taking place at a campout), that it will be offered at a specific time once tickets are purchased, or that it will be accomplished when requested (ie, Merit Badge Counselor training at District Training Day).

NA is "not applicable", and means that there is not a specific place or time for that event.

A word about personal phone numbers, mail and e-mail addresses: To protect privacy, I generally don't post these to this site unless the affected person gives the okay. I will leave the phone numbers for the LFC offices on the flyers, as well as the name of the person who is in charge of the event. If you need to talk to someone whose name is listed on one of the flyers and can't locate a way to contact them, please call/e-mail me.
