What We Do

Leadership Training

One of the keys to a successful Scouting experience for young people, second only to the selection of the right person for each responsibility, is trained volunteer leadership. Leadership training provides adult leaders with fundamental information about the aims and methods of the movement, as well as specifics about their particular roles in Scouting.

For this reason, the Coronado Council has adopted a Mandatory Training Policy for all Scouting leaders that have direct responsibility for the program in their unit.  These "Direct contact leaders" leaders must complete the basic training for their registered position to be rechartered in that position.

A Direct Contact Leader is defined as a:

  • Cub Scouts - Cubmaster, Assistant Cubmaster, Tiger Den leader, Den leader, Webelos Den Leader, and Committee Chairman
  • Boy Scouts - Scoutmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, Committee Chairman
  • Venturing - Crew Advisor, Associate Crew Advisor, Committee Chairman
  • Sea Scouting - Skipper and Committee Chairman
  • Varsity Scouts - Coach, Assistant Coach, and Committee Chairman

This policy is greater than that which is required for for the unit's Journey to Excellence grading and supercedes any and all previous training policies of the Coronado Area Council.

Effective October 1, 2018, all registered volunteers must have taken the new Youth Protection Training. This is mandatory as directed by National.  Although it can be taken online, there will be face to face presentations conducted at all resident camps during June. 

The Coronado Council is committed to provide top quality training opportunities for leaders, parents and Scouts at the district and council levels. Through these efforts, the delivery of a better and quality Scouting program can be provided to our entire youth membership.
