Step 1: Get Trained
Step 1: Get Trained
Every Scout deserves a trained Leader! A trained Leader is knowledgeable and more confident in their role. This impacts the safety and quality of our program, the desire of both Scouts and Leaders to stay, and much more. Leaders are considered trained and eligible to wear the official Trained emblem when they have completed Youth Protection Training and the Position-Specific Training for their position. Select your position below to access your Position-Specific Training. This training can also be accessed through the My Training page from the menu after logging in to the my.Scouting.org website.

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) Training is recommended. A BALOO-trained adult is required to be present for all camps and must be present for the entire duration. BALOO trainings are typically offered in the Spring and Fall at Camp Pupukea or Keehi Lagoon Memorial.

University of Scouting (UoS) is a one-day council supplemental training event for adult Scouting leaders. UoS offers courses for first-time leaders and experienced leaders alike, ranging from outdoor skills to group management concepts. UoS has been cancelled in recent years, but there are online options available. Attend a District Roundtable or contact the Komohana District Training Chair to find more.
Step 4: Make a Bigger Difference!
Step 4: Make a Bigger Difference!
If you choose to continue your training and experience as a Cub Scout Leader, there are numerous opportunities to improve scouting.
Wood Badge: Wood Badge is the premier national leadership course for Scouting volunteers and professionals. This course will help you better understand how the Scouting programs tie together and give you leadership tools to provide the best possible Scouting experience for our Scouts. Its purpose is to develop skilled leaders who can strengthen Scouting units and achieve the mission of Scouting America.
District and Council Committees: There's a whole lot more to Scouting than what goes on at the Unit. Scouting relies on volunteer Scouters at the District and Council levels to provide organize program activities such as camps, organize council fundraising, and grow membership. There are plenty of opportunities to help the Scouting organization grow and serve more youth.
