TrainingThe Pine Burr Area Council, BSA encourages all Scouts and Adults to take advantage of the various forms of training available in all the Districts, at the Council level or online. Some of the training and a brief overview if the components of the training continuum are listed below: Fast Start Training: Fast Start Training is the first step for any new volunteer and is to be delivered immediately after a new leader registers and before he or she meets with any youth member. Proper training lays the groundwork for success in their leadership roles. This training will help new leaders understand what is expected and establish effective meeting patterns so that the boys and their families can enjoy a quality program from the start. Basic Leader Training: The new Basic Leader Training comprises two parts: This Is Scouting for all unit-level leaders and Leader Specific Training, which is based on the leaders unit-level position. These courses can help adult leaders deliver quality Scouting experiences to youth. A log-in is required. however anyone may create a user account and view the courses. Registered members of the BSA may provide their member numbers (as part of the user profile) to receive credit. BUG ALERT: A number of users have reported that they are unable to create accounts for the e-learning system using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7.0(the very latest version) because an image is superimposed over text fields, preventing them from entering data. We are currently working on a newer version of the account creation/management interface that will not have this problem. In the meantime, these users may be able to complete the form if they use their "tab" key to navigate among text fields. Otherwise, they will need to use a different Web browser (Netscape, FireFox, or even am older version of IE) to create an account.
