Online Training

Training for leaders is now easier than ever. The first three required trainings - Fast Start, Youth Protection, and This is Scouting (aka New Leader Essentials) are now available online!

You’re off to a great start AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Just go to www.myscouting.org to set up a free account. Leaders that have just registered DO NOT NEED a member ID number. That information is contained in the profile and can be updated when the card is received. Records in the ScoutNet database will be updated, but everyone taking the online courses should print out their certificates and forward them to your pack trainer or committee chair.

Trek Safely and Climb on Safely have been added to the online health and safety training which are required on tour permits. Safe Swim, Safety Afloat, and Hazardous Weather, also required, have been available.

A few reminders:

Youth protection training is valid for two years. This includes in-person training.

Merit Badge counselors are required to have Youth Protection Training.

New Leader Essentials has been replaced by ‘This is Scouting’. It is a required training for all positions.

Training can be completed in other districts and councils. Leaders completing training this summer at camps in other councils should forward a copy of their training card to Kathy Hull, Council Registrar, at the council office.

100th Anniversary Jamboree

Normally every four years, the Boy Scouts in America holds a National Jamboree. This time it will have been five years since the last Jamboree so that it will occur on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts in America.

Since 1937, more than 654,000 Scouts and leaders have shared the jamboree experience and hiked the trails, paths, and roadways at 16 national Scout jamborees. Now, 100 years after Scouting reached the United States, it’s your turn to celebrate! This is a chance for 35,000 Scouts and their leaders to spend a week camping together and enjoying fun activities, making new friends, enjoying huge shows and experiencing the Brotherhood of Scouting. The 17th National Scout Jamboree will be held at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, from July 26 to August 4, 2010. 43,000 participants - 35,400 Scouts and leaders in 760 troops, plus some 6,600 staff members. The Jamboree is a "must-do" event for every Scout!

The Jamboree is Scouting at its Best. The Jamboree is an opportunity to share Scouting with Scouts from around the United States and from other countries as well.

The Jamboree is also a place to have fun. There are action activities like bicycle motocross, rappelling, a challenge course, trap shooting, biathlon, buckskin games, pioneering, air rifle shooting, and archery for those scouts who attend. Additional activities will be provided in the Outback Centers where there will be boating, canoeing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing. Jamboree exhibit and display areas include the Merit Badge Midway, Arts and Sciences Fair, Brownsea Island Camp, K2BSA Amateur Radio Station, disability awareness trail, and daily stage shows.


Baltimore Area Council now has a webpage bacjamboree.com/

Jamboree application available on line through My BSA.
