Planning for University of Scouting is ongoing. Check back regularly for updates.
What is the University of Scouting?
The University of Scouting is a premier training event designed to provide Scout leaders, parents, and older youth with the knowledge and skills needed to enhance their Scouting experience.
It is a one-day event that offers a variety of classes covering all aspects of Scouting, including Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and adult leadership development. With courses ranging from outdoor skills and advancement strategies to program planning and leadership techniques, participants can tailor their schedules to meet their specific interests and needs.
The event is structured similarly to a university, with multiple "colleges" focusing on different aspects of Scouting. Attendees can choose from a wide array of courses taught by experienced instructors who are passionate about Scouting.
