		Leader Specific Training For information about when Leader Specific Training will be available in your district, visit the Council Training Calendar. Cub Scout Leader Specific: Tiger Cub den leaders, Cub Scout den leaders, Webelos den leaders, Cubmasters and pack committee members can complete this training in about three hours. Boy Scout Leader Specific: Leader Specific Training is divided into four parts. The first three parts are designed to teach troop operations. The fourth part is completing "Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills," which are the skills required for the Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks. Troop Committee Training: For troop committee members, Leader Specific Training includes Troop Committee Challenge. Upon completion of the three-hour challenge, a troop committee member is considered trained. Venturing Leader Specific: Developed for Venturing advisors, assistant advisors and crew committee members, this training incorporates Venturing's current adult leader training. Varsity Coach Leader Specific: Varsity coaches and assistant coaches have similar training requirements to Scoutmasters. "Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills" is required for Varsity leaders to be considered trained. Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills: Outdoor skills are critical to the success of the Scouting program, and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills will provide leaders with the basic outdoor skills information needed to start a program right. Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills is the required outdoor training for all Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmasters and Varsity Scout coaches. The skills taught are based on the outdoor skills found in The Boy Scout Handbook. The course is also ideal for Venturing leaders because it focuses on skills that build confidence and competence in leaders conducting outdoor camping experiences. The course is a day and a half long, but a leader can move at an accelerated pace by demonstrating mastery of a specific skill. The emphasis is on the skill, rather than on attending the course.
