Adult Leader Training
Every youth deserves a trained leader and our goal is to have 100% of the Las Vegas Area Council leaders meeting minimum training requirements for their roles.
- Review the training requirements by position to better understand the online modules you may need to complete, as well as the time requirements. Most leaders can be fully trained over a 2-4 hour period by completing the 5-30 minute long modules one at a time.
