Get Trained!

Buckskin

Miami Valley Council's Premiere Destination for Adult Training. By completing Buckskin, you will have BALOO training, which is required for all overnight activities for the Pack. Each course involves 2 wednesday nights and 1 weekend. Buckskin is held each fall and spring, unless there is a council Wood Badge training scheduled. Learn more here: thebuckskintrail.com

Wood Badge

The ultimate training experience for Scouting America. Extremely helpful in providing the best experience for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA and even in the work place. The next Miami Valley Council Wood Badge course is scheduled for the fall of 2025.

Youth Protection Training

Parent volunteers and Pack Leadership volunteers must obtain their Youth Protection Training certification. This free, online training must be renewed every two years. It can be found at the posted link above, or by going to www.scouting.org, and selecting the <My Scouting> tab in the upper right corner of the page. You will create a free account, and then be directed to the training.
